Routine appointments

To request a routine appointment

When you get in touch, we’ll ask what you need help with. We’ll use this information to match you with the right doctor, nurse, or health professional.

Whichever way you choose to contact us, we may offer you a consultation:

  • by phone
  • face to face at the practice
  • a doctor is usually available to give advice over the telephone. Please call 01623 440018 to request a call back. This is usually after morning/afternoon surgery. Appointments by phone can be more flexible and often means you get help sooner. Be aware that the call may come from an unknown number.
