Booking for NHS Appointment
We've listened to your feedback and we are now opening our appointment book three months in advance.
In addition, we've increased the availability of examination appointments and introduced a waiting list. We will be monitoring these changes closely to ensure they are effective and do not lead to any unintended issues.
We hope these improvements will make it easier for patients to contact us and book appointments throughout the month.
Please note that after-school and other popular time slots will still be in high demand. If you’d like to secure one of these times, we still recommend calling us when the books first open.
Our NHS appointment book for routine examinations opens three months in advance, on the first working day of each month.
For example:
- Bookings for September 2025 will open on August 2025
- Bookings for October 2025 will open on 1st September 2025
This system is designed to prevent excessively advanced bookings and to ensure fairer access for all patients.
How to Book
Appointments can be booked:
- By telephone
- In person at reception
Appointments cannot be booked via email, due to the live, dynamic nature of our appointment book.
Please be aware:
We experience extremely high call volumes during booking release periods. If our telephone queue is full, your call may not connect. Please keep trying—your call will be answered as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
NHS Waiting List for New Patients
We are trialling a capped NHS waiting list for new NHS routine patients, or those who have not attended for an NHS routine examination in the last 2 years. This will initially be limited to 100 patients, as we assess potential future capacity. If you would like to be added to this list, please call us:
- Patients will be contacted in strict order of joining as and when NHS slots become available.
- We will update our website when the waiting list is open or closed, so please monitor this page regularly.
