Important Notice - We are changing our appointment system

Why are we changing: During the COVID-19 pandemic we were instructed to change our appointment system to having all requests for GP appointments triaged by telephone first and operate an on the day appointment system.  By clinically triaging appointments and dealing with as much as we could remotely, we reduced our waiting time with patients receiving GP care far quicker than previously. Frustratingly the NHS has a recruitment and retention issue nationally with Doctors in particular and the on the day system no longer meets the needs of our patients. General Practice is in crisis and we need to adapt to the change in demand and workload. >

In addition, we have also listened to your concerns about difficulties in pre-booking appointments, telephone queues and the appointment waiting time. Unfortunately we have now reached a point where the level of patients requesting on the day appointments is unmanageable, inappropriate and unsustainable due to the level of pressure this is putting on our Clinical team.

From 27^th February 2023, there will be a combination of appointments available for you to book.
