  • ROUTINE requests will be contacted and offered an appointment, either telephone or face to face, within the next few weeks.

Requests for children aged 12 and under after 10.00 am should also be directed to the surgery via the telephone.  These requests will also be triaged and dealt with as clinically appropriate.
