Appointments
You will be offered a GP appointment the same day for an urgent problem. However, if you wish to see a specific doctor for a non-urgent appointment it may take a little longer.
Surgeries and clinics normally start on time on time and we aim to see you within 20 minutes of your appointment time. Delays are sometimes unavoidable but when this happens we will try to keep you informed.
