Appointment Booking

We offer a range of ways for you to safely get the help and support you need.

Our trained reception staff can arrange telephone, face-to-face and online consultations with GPs and other health professionals in our team.

Patients who request an appointment will be assessed by telephone or online, and a clinician will determine how best to meet your care needs. You will be offered a face-to-face appointment if it is essential for you to be seen, or a video appointment if appropriate.

The fastest way to access our services is generally via our Dr. iQ app. If you do not need to come into the surgery, you will be given appropriate self-care advice, treatment or information on what to do if you become more unwell.

Covid-19 and children

COVID-19 and children

If you are unable to access Dr. iQ, you can request an appointment via telephone, visit our Contact Us page for our contact details.

At this challenging time, it is extremely important for you to know that COVID-19 is unlikely to make your child unwell, but they like everyone else might be infectious so staying at home when well remains the message.

However, all the ‘normal’ illnesses that can make children severely unwell still remain and there is a major risk that parents may delay bringing their child to the attention of a healthcare professionals even if they are unwell because of concerns about COVID-19. GPs and hospitals are still providing the same safe care that they have always done for children.

If you are not sure if your child is unwell and whether they need to be seen, click here call 111 or contact your GP. For information about crying babies, click here. If your child appears severely unwell and advice is not quickly available call 999 or take them to ED as you would in other times.

The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health have produced a very helpful infographic on accessing the right care for your unwell child.
