You may be greeted by a staff member or security guard at the door. They will ask if you, or someone in your household has COVID.

If you have COVID, please let our team know. You may then be asked to wait in a portable cabin, or taken to a private room inside the building, where you will be seen by the triage nurse. Remember to maintain social distancing and wear a surgical mask.

If you don’t have COVID, you’ll come inside and our receptionists will take your details. The triage nurse will then assess your condition. This system ensures patients with urgent health needs are prioritised. This will be why some patients who arrive after you are seen first. After you are triaged, you will be asked to wait in our waiting areas for your consultation.

We are here to care for you, and when your turn comes, the doctor or nurse practitioner will give you the time you need.

Our waiting room area can get busy, please only bring the people that you need with you for your visit.

We have a comfortable waiting area with free Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi posters throughout the waiting room have the login information for you. Free activity packs are available for children and there is a TV with child-friendly movies, at the back of the main waiting room.

Ask at reception if you are not sure where this is.

A nurse may see you before your consultation to ask you for more detail about your condition. They may also arrange for some blood tests, or some observations to be done. This means that the nurse, or one of our health care assistants, may take your temperature, blood temperature, and oxygen reading. They will give this information to the doctor or nurse practitioner who will see you for your health concern.

After seeing the nurse, you may need to wait again to see the doctor or nurse practitioner. During your time with the doctor or nurse practitioner, a nurse or healthcare assistant may also be present to assist with your care.

If you need ongoing care, the team will talk to you about what you may need and what to do next. You will usually see your own general practitioner for a follow up, but this will depend on your condition. For example, you may need to have some more tests, or to come back and see us again. Notes from your visit will be sent electronically to your usual general practitioner, unless you ask us not to.

You will be given any paperwork you need and will be asked to pay your bill. You can download our full fees list (PDF, 90.8 KB)
