Appointments
Appointments can be made up to 8 weeks in advance with a choice of a GP, an Advanced Nurse Prescriber, Practice Nurse, Health Care Assistant, Mental Health Practitioner or First Contact Physio.
Newtown Surgery offers same day appointments, advance booking appointments and on line appointments. The on the day appointments are available for booking from 08:00 am that day with a choice of clinicians. We would encourage all patients to sign up for patient on line services where there is a larger choice of advance appointment bookings available. We have also started offering online nurse appointments for smear checks.
A set amount of time is allocated to certain appointment types, therefore if making an appointment over the telephone please specify what the appointment is for so that you can ensure you are given an appropriate amount of time for your treatment to take place. Unless otherwise informed, each appointment slot is to discuss one problem and you may need to book another appointment to discuss other problems.
Please note appointments are allocated on a first come first served basis and depend on GP/nurse availability.
Cancellations
If you cannot attend an appointment for any reason please inform us as soon as possible in order for us to give the slot to someone else.
