Getting the most from your appointment
We operate by appointment to keep waiting times short. Usually we keep a certain number appointments for people who phone on the day so if you phone at 9am or close to that time you will generally get a same-day appointment. We can usually deal with up to two issues per visit — please mention your main concern when booking so reception can arrange the right appointment. Smear appointments are for smears only; please book separately for other issues.
