Appointments

blue_calendarWe run an appointment system, so please make an appointment either by calling in person or phoning 01202 880786.

Please tell the receptionist if you are a new patient or require a special appointment, e.g. cervical smear, vaccination, minor surgery or a special medical examination.

Patients are welcome to consult whichever doctor they feel most comfortable with.

Chaperone Policy

All patients are entitled to have a chaperone present for any consultation, examination or procedure where they may feel one is required. This chaperone may be a family member or friend. On occasions you may prefer a formal chaperone to be present, i.e. a trained member of staff.

Wherever possible we would ask you to make this request at the time of booking the appointment so that arrangements can be made and your appointment is not delayed in any way. Where this is not possible we will endeavour to provide a formal chaperone at the time of request. However, occasionally, it may be necessary to reschedule your appointment.

Your healthcare professional may also require a chaperone to be present for certain consultations in accordance with our chaperone policy.

If you would like to see a copy of our Chaperone Policy or have any questions or comments regarding this please contact us.
