Important Information about booking online

Although we realise it is convenient for our patients to be able to book online we have had problems with patients booking into the wrong types of slots or for the wrong amount of time and have had to turn them away. Please check below if you are unsure.

Nurse Appointments

• Dressings, Removal of Sutures – book into a standard nurse appointment. However if you are aware that your change of dressing is complex and you may need a double or a triple appointment then please call the surgery.
• Specialist Nurse Appointments – eg diabetes (Fiona Nugent),  COPD or asthma reviews (Ann Pearce or Fiona Nugent or Emma Ward), smears, the removal or insertion of contraceptive coils or implants (Pauline Fajer), Travel (Fiona Nugent or Emma Ward) must be booked into specialist slots and not in a general nurse appointment. Many of these require additional specialist training and not all our clinicians are qualified to carry out these procedures.
• Blood tests – not to be booked into a general nurse appointment – they have their own designated slots with a phlebotomist or Healthcare/Nurse Assistant
• Physical Health checks eg NHS Health Checks, Mental Health Physical Assessment have designated slots, usually with Becky Rogers.
