Appointments
How to make an appointment with a Doctor:
Riverside Surgery operates a mixed appointment system with same day and pre-bookable appointments up to three weeks in advance.
You can book an appointment in the following ways:-
- Telephone the surgery or if convenient, ask at Reception or via our online appointment system, please see information below about how to register.
- You may consult any of the Doctors within the practice.
- Please book a separate appointment for each person attending.
- If you cannot keep your appointment, please let us know.
- There are some healthcare problems that maybe dealt with more appropriately by other members of our healthcare team. This can save waiting time and be more convenient to patients.
- You may be contacted by an Urgent Care Practitioner who will ensure you are seen as quickly as necessary.
