Reception opening hours 8am-6.30pm Monday to Friday
We offer a variety of appointment types and lengths to suit the needs of our patients.
Most appointments take only ten minutes; some patients needs less time, some more and may require a Doctor and Nurse to be present together.
Due to the variety of appointment options, the Reception team may ask the reason why you are requesting an appointment. This is to ensure your appointment is with an appropriate medical professional for the correct amount of time.
