Consultations Our aim is to offer all patients an appointment on the day of their choice with the doctor of their choice. Appointments may be booked in advance if this suits personal circumstances better. Patients may consult any of the doctors; however, if one doctor has been dealing with a particular problem, they are requested to follow-up with that doctor if possible. Patients are requested to advise at the time of booking if they wish to see a particular doctor.  As each doctor in the clinic will have a number of available appointment slots, the earlier the patients ring, the easier it will be to accommodate such requests. New patients are offered free check ups and health advice. As well as normal medical care and a full range of preventative medicines, the Department of Family Medicine is pleased to offer patients the following additional services:
