Opening Times

The Medical Centre is open during the following hours:

Practice Learning Initiatives
Once each month there is usually an afternoon where the staff at the practice are involved in Practice Learning Initiatives (PLI). This includes the doctors, nurses, the practice manager, all administration staff and any GP Specialist Registrars or Medical Students with us at the time. These PLI events usually take place on a Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon. The surgery will be closed during these times.

Surgery Times

There are always at least 2 doctors on duty.

General Practitioners
Most surgeries operate from 8.30 am to 11.00 am in a morning and 3.00 pm to 5.30 pm in an afternoon.

A proportion of clinic time is reserved for patients with chronic conditions and medication reviews, so not all appointment “slots” are available for emerging problems.

Practice Nurses
Our nurses provide cover throughout the week with most of their appointments being in a morning or early afternoon so that laboratory specimens can be delivered to the laboratory the same day. They provide a wide range of services, some of which are run in conjunction with a doctor appointment.
