The GP Partners at the surgery and other local practices are taking part in collective action with the BMA, because the pressures on general practice are becoming unsustainable. As part of this we are no longer able to offer appointments beyond nationally recommended safe working levels.
Once we reach our safe limit of appointments for the day, we will be unable to offer any further appointments. The only exception for this will be if it is an URGENT issue for a child under 16 or an urgent palliative care issue.
