What to expect at a walk in appointment
Walk in appointments are a way for you to come and see us without booking an appointment in advance and are an option for patients who need to be seen urgently or who don’t know their availability ahead of time.
Please be aware that we can’t guarantee that we will be able to see you for a walk in appointment when you arrive.
If we’re already busy you may be asked to come back later in the day to be seen. There may also still be a short wait to be seen when you return, and a walk in appointment can mean a longer waiting time than if you attend for a booked appointment.
We recommend coming earlier in the day where possible, as we can often run out of appointment slots towards the end of our opening hours. We may ask you to return on another day if you do not need urgent care or treatment. We will suggest alternative options available to you if we can’t see you that day.
We are unable to routinely offer implant or IUD fittings, cervical screenings or cryotherapy at walk in appointments.
