Our doctors aim to keep to appointment times. However, some
consultations take longer than anticipated and we
ask for your patience and understanding.
Cancellation fees apply for non-attendance.

Medical records are confidential documents. It is the policy of the Practice to maintain security of personal health information at all times and to ensure this information is only dealt with in line with current legislation.

We make every effort to contact patients with abnormal results but sometimes these efforts fail (e.g. through incorrect telephone or address details). Please do not assume that your results are normal just because you have not heard from us. Make sure you have arranged a follow up appointment to discuss your test results

If in doubt, please make a normal appointment with a doctor.
