Our team also offers lifestyle profiles and advice regarding fitness and nutrition, so contact us if you’d like to improve your everyday wellness. We’ll be happy to help you on the path to better health.
If you seek a medical consultation with one of the doctors, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. Most consultations take about 15 minutes but if you feel that you may need longer for the doctor to deal with your particular health problem, then please let the receptionist know when you’re booking your appointment.
When booking your appointment, you’ll be offered the next available time to see either your regular doctor or one of our other practice doctors. You will need an appointment with your doctor for new consultations and also for repeat prescriptions, specialist referrals and for receiving test results.
