More Than One Problem

Standard appointments are for a maximum of 10 minutes.  Please let the receptionist know if you will require a double appointment.  Medicals or longer appointments will be by special arrangement.

If you have more than one problem to discuss, please tell the doctor this at the start of your appointment so that the most important problem can be dealt with first.  If it is not possible to deal with several complex problems during a single consultation you may be asked to make a further appointment(s) to deal with less pressing issues.

We do try and run appointments to time but you will appreciate that we have no way of knowing in advance what problems will be presented during a surgery.  Some problems do require immediate attention and may result in subsequent appointments running late.  Your understanding when this happens is appreciated.
