Patients are able to make an appointment to see a doctor on the day and 24 hours in advance. If you do not need an appointment but need advice the doctor is able to talk to you by telephone through our triage service.  You will never be refused to see a doctor if one is available.

However, if we are not able to offer you an appointment you can attend a Walk in Centre.
