Appointments

1. Guide to booking appointments

The receptionist will ask what length of appointment you require.  You may book  10,20,30 or 40 minutes.
Please request as realistically as you are able according to the number & complexity of issues that you wish to discuss

For example

10 Min

Single medical issue, repeat script, review of results, referrals other than  those for psychologists, antenatal visits,  childrens illnesses

20 Min

Multiple isssues, mental health issues, Pap smear tests, health checkups, surgical procedures, first appointments, post natal checks

30 to 40 min

Counselling, complicated multipe issues

The doctor will try to keep close to these times to enable running on time.

2. Missed appointments/late cancellations

These interfere with efficiency & accessibility.  All appointments require a 24 hour for  notice of cancellation.
This allows time to re-book. 
Where the required notice has not been given & it has been too late to fill this time, then a small fee is charged to contribute to costs incurred.

3. Home visits

If mobility restricted, these are possible subject to doctor availability.  Otherwise we will inform you of alternate arrangements such as calling the Locum Service or other referal.
