Online Appointments Policy:
Only existing patients of the practice are able to book online.
If you are a first time patient, please ring/attend the reception staff for an appointment.
If you want to book long appointments, please ring/attend reception.
Doctors Appointments
Please ensure that you book your appointments appropriately. If you are unsure as to whether it is appropriate for you to see a doctor, contact us by telephone. Whilst we will do what we can for you to see the doctor of your choice this may not always be possible due to unforeseen circumstances, for instance if the doctor is on sick leave or annual leave.
Missed Appointments
If you are unable to attend your appointment please let us know as early as possible. You may cancel it online or telephone us. This will allow us to offer the appointment to another patient.
We will be monitoring missed appointments on a regular basis. If you miss an appointment more than twice in one year we will remove the facility for you to use online booking, but you will still be able to book appointments with our receptionists.
Inappropriate use
We are sure you will find this service useful. However, we will revoke your access to it if you abuse the service. For your access to be reinstated you must liaise with our reception team.
Examples of what we would consider inappropriate use are
- Booking appointments and not using them more than twice a year.
- Booking appointments for other family members using your name.
- Consistently booking inappropriate appointments with the doctor.
