LGBT- Health inequalities arise at different stages of people's lives, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans (LGBT) people have notably poorer experiences accessing healthcare and increased health risk compared to the general population. As a result of COVID-19, many LGBT people are at risk of experiencing further discrimination and marginalisation when accessing services or trying to address the health inequalities they face.

APPOINTMENT INFORMATION
The surgery operates an advanced access appointments system. This means that we allow pre-booking appointments by up to 4 weeks and a certain amount of appointments are saved for patients that ring “on the day“ for emergencies. We aim to be able to offer an appointment within 24 hours but our reception staff who are trained as care navigators will need to ask a few questions to be able to determine if you require a GP appointment or, if your symptoms could be dealt with by other services such as pharmacy. If if you wish to specify a particular Doctor, you may need to wait longer as their appointments may not always be available due to demands. Please note the surgery offers same day appointments for all under 5 year old children if it is clinically indicated.
RECEPTION TIMES: PLEASE NOTE THAT ALTHOUGH THE RECEPTION WILL BE OPEN EARLY IN THE MORNING OUR PHONES LINES ARE NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL 8.00AM AND THEY CLOSE AT 6.30PM IN THE EVENING.
