North Parade Medical Centre

The Appointment System

This has been designed to give patients the choice and variety of appointment options.
All surgeries are by appointment.

Appointments can be made through our receptionists by calling at the surgery, by telephone or online via Emis Access .

Booked appointments are available as follows:

Morning booked appointments:	9:10 to 10:40
Afternoon booked appointments:	2:10 to 3:10 4:00 to 4:50

In addition "Urgent" face to face and telephone appointments will be available on the day.
GP’s will also be available 12 to 12:30 and 3:30 to 4:00 for general telephone advice. To enable us to operate this system patient calls will be strictly limited to these times and GP’s will be unable to return calls to patients.

Patients should note that appointment times are limited to 10 minutes only to enable GP’s to run to time. Please make one appointment per person to be seen.
If you cannot attend your appointment, please let us know so that we can allocate it to someone else.

We kindly ask that you telephone the surgery to book an appointment rather that turn up without an appointment and request to be seen.
