Alert: Change to Same Day Appointments from 18th August 2025

From 18th August 2025 - The way a patient requests a "Same Day" appointment with a GP is changing.

All "Same Day" appointment requests need to be completed online using the CONTACT US ONLINE button below.
If you cannot use the internet, the receptionist will complete the form for you.
A receptionist from this date will not be able to book a same day appointment, but will signpost you to complete the online consultation form.

Once received, this will be allocated to a GP to review.
The GP will respond to your online query for same day appointment via NHS App, SMS, email or phone call over the course of the day, providing you with advice, treatment or offer to book an appointment to come in later on the same day for examination.
*Please ensure we hold the correct mobile and email address for you.

This change is inline with Government contractual changes and we have to adapt to this new way of dealing with appointments to help with the forever increase in demand for appointments. Contact Us Online

Online Services

You can use the NHS App to check your symptoms and get instant advice, book appointments, order repeat prescriptions, view your GP medical record and more.

Get Started

NHS App messaging is a new service which allows you to receive an in-app message where you would normally receive a message via a more traditional channel, like SMS.

It is your choice whether to receive messages in this way. In order to have this choice, please switch on NHS App notifications on your device, so that you are prompted to read the message in the app. This can be done in the NHS App or in the device settings. Notification preferences may take 24 hours to take effect.

If a message is not successfully delivered to the NHS App, you will still receive the message via another channel, such as SMS.
