Pre-bookable appointments are available to book up to two weeks in advance. Same day, face-to-face appointments are also available for patients with urgent conditions. This is a new condition or a long-term condition which has gotten worse within the last 24 hours. Some patients have routine matters to talk about. Others may have life-threatening health concerns that need urgent attention.
We aim to get you seen by an appropriate health care professional within 48hrs. Our receptionists may ask you a few questions about your condition. This is to help us get you the most appropriate care for your needs.
Some appointments take longer than others. We ask for your patience and understanding if there is an unexpected delay on the day of your appointment. If you have been waiting longer than 15 minutes, please inform our reception staff.
We aim to give you an appointment with your preferred clinician. Where this is not possible, we will offer you an appointment with an alternative clinician.
