Clinics & Services
General Clinic
The majority of our work covers a multitude of assessments, treatments and advice. We try to emphasize the traditional family aspect of general practice whilst developing services and facilities to adapt to modern living. We provide nursing and doctor appointments, both on the telephone and face-to-face. Seventy percent of appointments can be booked up to four weeks in advance. Thirty percent of appointments are kept in reserve for on-the-day urgent assessments. Please consider whether a nurse or doctor appointment is most suitable and whether a telephone appointment would meet your needs, or if a face-to-face appointment is required.
