Patient Satisfaction Survey
 
A recent survey has shown high patient satisfaction levels for  getting an appointment at the surgery within 48hrs with a health care professional as well as being able to book an appointment with a GP in advance
Over 80% satisfaction scores were achieved in both categories.
If you have an urgent  problem you will be seen on the day you request an appointment. The practice does specialise in providing an acute access system called the same day access where doctors and nurses work together to provide a high quality patient-centred service.
If your condition is non-urgent, you can expect to see a GP within two working days, though you may have to wait longer if you want to see a particular GP or at a particular time. If you don't need an appointment within two working days, you also have the option to book up to 4 weeks in advance if this is more convenient for you. Nurses based in our practice treat patients for a wide range of common conditions. You can expect to see a nurse within one working day.
We do provide some flexibility in our appointment system. If you find it difficult to get to surgery during our normal working hours please discuss this with our receptionist or practice manager
