Your appointment

However you choose to contact us we may offer you a consultation:

  • by phone
  • face to face at the surgery
  • on a video call
  • by text or email.

Appointments by phone, video call or by text or email can be more flexible and often means the doctor or nurse can help you sooner.

To cancel your appointment:

As part of Newcastle North Primary Care Network, we deliver extended hours on a Saturday. These hours are delivered on a rota basis between our practice, Audley, Kidsgrove and Mount Road. If you are attending one of the Kidsgrove practices, you will be asked for consent for the clinicians to access your medical records via the EMIS computer system. If you do not give consent, you will not be able to be seen.

Please ask at reception if you require further information.
