What is a Minor Ailment appointment?

These appointments are designed to provide you with a short assessment and relief of minor illness or injury, e.g. colds, coughs, hay fever, digestive upsets, occasional constipation, UTIs, bruises, sprains, insect bites, minor wounds or burns, cold sores, temporary anxiety or stress etc.

If I have not seen you before in clinic, please book the Meet, Greet & Treat appointment for New Patients, otherwise choose the Minor Ailments appointment for Existing Patients.

Important - If you have an infectious illness such as a cold, flu, or tummy bug, I can only consult with you online, so you will need to be an existing patient or have pre-registered with me in person. Please indicate when booking that you need an online appointment.

If you present at a minor ailment appointment with an ongoing or more serious problem I may provide you with medicine to make you feel more comfortable, but might also advise you to book in for a full appointment so we can look at the underlying causes of your complaint, or refer you for care elsewhere (e.g. GP, hospital).

If you are in any doubt about whether your problem is 'minor' please don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss before you book.

I look forward to welcoming you to my practice!
