East Quay Medical Centre

GP Appointments

We have a personal list system at East Quay. This means that, to ensure you get the best care possible, you see your own GP for all routine problems that need a GP.
- You can book an appointment with your doctor in the surgery or on the telephone at a set time.
- You will be given the option of an appointment with your doctor, or if necessary, you can see another doctor sooner.
- You can still book an appointment with our Nurse Practitioner or in the Urgent Nurse clinic

For the benefit of all our patients we ask that you continue to see our nurses for minor problems. This means the doctors will have appointments available for those who are seriously unwell or who have complex problems. Our receptionist can advise you who can help you best.

You usually do NOT need an appointment with your doctor for routine medication reviews or for diabetic, asthma and COPD checks. If you are due a medication review please refer to your “Blue Card” which will let you know who you are due to see for your review. If you do not have a blue card and are on repeat prescriptions, please let reception know

Appointments for people who can't come Monday to Friday 8am to 6.30pm
We offer GP appointments from 6.30pm Mondays to Thursdays for patients with routine problems who cannot attend Monday to Friday 8.00am-6.30pm and who need to have a face to face consultation with their own GP. If you would like one of these appointments please tell the receptionist and she will confirm when the next appointment is available for your own GP.

All appointments can be made on 01278 444666
