Services
GP Appointments
Our GP appointments provide comprehensive primary care consultations for acute and chronic health issues. Patients access appointments through the Anima triage system, ensuring urgent cases receive priority. The practice offers routine check-ups, health screenings, and ongoing management of long-term conditions by qualified physicians.
Prescription Services
Repeat prescription services allow patients to order regular medications through online systems or direct requests. Our team processes prescriptions efficiently while maintaining strict safety protocols. We provide guidance on medication usage and manage controlled substances in compliance with NHS regulations.
Test Results
We manage laboratory and imaging test results with clear communication channels. Blood tests are typically available in 5 working days, while X-rays take 2-4 weeks. Patients access results through secure channels, with follow-up appointments arranged for abnormal findings requiring clinical discussion.
Minor Illness Clinics
Specialist nurse-led clinics address common health issues like respiratory infections, skin conditions, and minor injuries. The service offers same-day assessments and treatment plans, reducing pressure on emergency departments. Clinicians provide immediate care or referrals for conditions not requiring specialist intervention.
Travel Vaccinations
Pre-travel health assessments determine required vaccinations for international destinations. Patients need two appointments: initial risk assessment 6 weeks before travel and vaccine administration 2 weeks prior. Some travel vaccines require private prescriptions with associated fees beyond standard NHS charges.

Horrible GP practice and not very nice staff either, you will likely never get an appointment to see a doctor or nurse here. You are told to ring at 8am to make your appointment it either goes to answer phone, you get hung up on or no answer. If by chance you do get through you will be greeted with the classic line Theres no more appointments for today ring back tomorrow at 8am. You cant make any appointments for the future either its really luck of the draw at 8am to get an appointment on that day. I also had a situation where my prescription was handed over to someone else, this

Attitude towards mental health from this place is disgusting, impossible to get an appointment unless you have more than 1 person trying to call in with you. Reception staff have always been nothing but rude whenever I get through. 1 star isnt low enough

the most insensitive GP told my partner that he cant be bothered to follow on with her cancer treatments- by saying "i dont have time for that"
"you have too many problems". what a... (SHE TOOK 6 MIN OF HIS TIME)
