Your appointment
However you choose to contact us we may offer you a consultation:

Appointments by phone can be more flexible and often means the doctor or nurse can help you sooner. Please note some conditions will mean that the clinician will need to see you in person to assess you therefore you may be advised that a telephone consultation is not appropriate for the appointment you are booking.
