GP Appointments
All consultations are by appointment only, we do not offer a walk-in service.
Appointments are released each morning at 8am for the same day, as well as some pre-bookable appointments 7 and 14 days ahead. The majority of our appointments are face to face, but if you would prefer a telephone call please specify this when booking.
We have appointments available throughout the day and are also able to book evening and weekend appointments which we run in collaboration with other local practices at ‘hubs’.
All patients have a named GP, but you are welcome to see any doctor. We would recommend sticking with the same GP throughout an illness for continuity of care.
How to book
Appointments can be booked in the following ways:
- By telephone on 0114 2307818
- Online (you will need to register with our online services) - Click here to book a appointment. These are the same selection of appointments released at 8am for telephone booking.
- In person at the desk
- Please not that we do NOT accept requests for appointments via email.
Other appointments
We also have appointments available with a variety of other healthcare professionals. Our GP team is supported by Nurses, Healthcare Assistant, Pharmacists, an Advance Paramedic Practioner, Physiotherapists and other roles at the practice and locally.
Our receptionists are able to offer direction as to who may be able to help, and may need to ask some simple questions as to the nature of your problem so they can book you in with the most appropriate person.
General information
Please book a double appointment in advance if you think your problem will need longer than 10 minutes (late overrunning appointments lead to patient dissatisfaction!).
If you are unable to keep your pre-booked appointment, please make every effort to let us know well in advance, so we can allocate your appointment to another patient.
If you are late for an appointment you may have to rebook another appointment. You still may be seen but this at the doctors discretion. You may be asked to wait until the end of the doctors surgery. Remember if you are late then this makes all the subsequent patient appointments run late.
