How do I make an appointment?
You can book one of these appointments by talking to the receptionist at your own GP practice during opening hours. To see which practice is open on a Saturday morning please see the attached rota. Please contact your surgery to book one of these appointments.

To book a same day appointment on a Saturday morning ONLY, please contact the practice providing the session that day (see the rota above and contact information for each practice below).

Where does the appointment take place?
The receptionist will advise you of the time and location of your appointment.
