A routine appointment with a doctor, with your full record in front of them.
What is involved
Any non-urgent health concern
The standard appointment. Book it with a particular doctor if you would prefer continuity, which for anything ongoing is usually worth the wait. Bring one main problem if you can — if you have several, say so when you book and the team will give you a longer slot rather than trying to fit them into ten minutes.
What the appointment includes
How it works
A few minutes online or at reception. We request your previous records so we have your history before you need us.
Same-day slots for acute illness, routine appointments for everything else, and longer ones for clinics. Say what it is about and reception will book correctly.
With your full record in front of the clinician. Ask for a particular doctor where continuity matters to you.
Bloods and investigations are arranged with a clear statement of when and how you will get the result. We contact you about abnormal results.
Long-term conditions are recalled rather than left to you to remember. The interval is set at your review.
Register online or at reception; it takes a few minutes. We will request your previous records, which usually take a couple of weeks to arrive — you can be seen in the meantime.
Appointments
Same-day appointments are released each morning for people who are unwell. Routine appointments and clinics can be booked further ahead.
