| On the day | On the day emergency appointments are for patients who have an urgent medical problem that cannot wait for a routine appointment. The practice aims to offer appointments to all patients with an on the day emergency. These appointments are booked to allow as many patients as safely possible to be treated on the day, therefore only the urgent medical problem can be addressed. The doctor or nurse will not be able to deal with routine matters so please don’t ask them too. Our Patient Service Advisors will be pleased to book you a subsequent routine appointment for this purpose. |
| Routine | For patients who need an appointment for a non-urgent problem, for a medication review or for a follow up appointment we offer appointments within 28 days. |
