Appointments
For appointments on the same day please ring at 8.30am, but you can pre book up to six weeks in advance with your choice of GP or a nurse subject to the availability of appointments, either by telephone or calling into the surgery.
Please let us know if you are unable to keep a booked appointment as another patient may be able to be seen.
You can book and cancel appointments by opening an online account at Patient Access.
Please do not try to book appointments on the Bridgeside Surgery email address as this is not possible.
