Access Step-free entrance, ground-floor consulting rooms, hearing loop at reception

Care lanes

Six lanes, each with its own booking length

Choosing the right lane means your clinician has the time and the room prepared before you arrive. If you are unsure, pick general consultation and we will move the booking for you.

01

General consultation

One or two related concerns, reviewed properly: history, examination, and a written plan you take away. Includes referral letters and sick notes where they are needed.

20 minutes · Same-week routine slots

02

Skin and mole checks

Dermatoscopic examination of a specific lesion or a full-surface check, with photographs kept on file so change can be measured at your next visit.

30 minutes · Bring a list of what has changed

03

Women’s health

Cervical screening, contraception reviews and fittings, menopause consultations, and recurrent symptom investigation. Female clinician available on request.

30–40 minutes · Chaperone offered as standard

04

Travel health and vaccination

Itinerary-based risk assessment, course planning for multi-dose vaccines, antimalarial advice and a printed record for border requirements.

30 minutes · Book six to eight weeks before travel

05

Physiotherapy

Assessment of joint, back and tendon pain with hands-on treatment and a home programme. Follow-ups are shorter and focus on load progression.

45 minutes first visit · 25 minutes thereafter

06

Diagnostics review

Sitting down with your blood work, imaging or monitoring results to interpret them in context, decide what to repeat, and set the next review date.

20 minutes · In person or by telephone

Your visit

What happens between your request and your plan

Four steps, and most of the preparation happens before you walk in. Knowing the sequence makes a first appointment considerably easier.

Step one

Request

Send the form with the lane you want and a rough window. A clinician reads every request and replies by email, usually within one working day.

Step two

Preparation

We ask for any previous records and, where it saves you a second trip, arrange bloods or a swab for the morning of your appointment.

Step three

Consultation

Twenty minutes minimum, in a ground-floor room. Examination, then an explanation in plain language, then the plan agreed out loud before you leave.

Step four

Aftercare

A written summary, any prescription sent to the pharmacy you name, and a stated review date so nothing is left to drift.

Who you will see

Three clinicians, named on every booking

You can ask for a specific clinician when you request an appointment, and continuity is the default for follow-ups.

Dr Amara Lindqvist

General practice · Clinical lead

Works mainly with long-term conditions and complex symptom pictures that have not yet been given a name. Keeps the twenty-minute standard because, in her words, the useful part of a consultation usually arrives in the second half.

  • General consultation
  • Diagnostics review
  • Travel health and vaccination

Dr Priya Halvorsen

Women’s health & dermoscopy

Runs the screening and contraception clinics and the skin surface checks. Photographs every lesion she examines so that the next appointment compares images rather than memories.

  • Physiotherapy assessment
  • Follow-up and load progression
  • Post-referral rehabilitation

Practical

Hours, what to bring, and getting in

The detail that makes a first visit straightforward. If anything here is a barrier for you, say so in your request and we will work around it.

Thursday08:00 – 20:00 (evening clinic)
Friday08:00 – 17:00
Saturday09:00 – 13:00 (vaccination & skin)
SundayClosed
Results callsWeekdays 14:00 – 16:00

The last booking of each session is taken thirty minutes before closing so consultations are not shortened.

Bring with you

  • A list of current medication, including anything bought over the counter
  • Previous results or letters, even if you think we already hold them
  • Dates: when symptoms began, and what has changed since
  • For travel clinics, your full itinerary and any vaccination record
  • For physiotherapy, clothing you can move and be examined in

Notes are written up during your appointment, not afterwards, so the summary you receive is the one we agreed together. Reception can arrange an interpreter, a double slot, or a quiet waiting area if you ask when you book.

Questions

Asked most often before a first visit

If your question is not here, add it to your appointment request and we will answer it in the reply.

Do I need to register before I can book?

No. You can request a first appointment without registering. We collect your details at the visit, and you decide afterwards whether to stay with the clinic for ongoing care.

How do repeat prescriptions work?

Once a medication is established, repeats are issued without an appointment and sent to the pharmacy you name. We review the prescription itself at the interval agreed with your clinician — usually every six or twelve months.

Can I bring my children to an appointment?

Yes, and we also see children in their own right from the age of two. Tell us when you request the slot so we book a room with space for a pram and allow longer.

Is an interpreter available?

Yes. Note the language in your request and we will arrange telephone or in-person interpreting before the appointment. Family members are welcome to attend as well, though we will ask to hear directly from you during the examination.

How quickly will I get test results?

Routine bloods are usually back within three working days, imaging within a week. We contact you either way, including when results are normal, and anything unexpected is discussed in a booked review rather than over a message.

What if I need to cancel or move my appointment?

Reply to your confirmation email and we will move it. Cancelling the day before releases the slot for someone on the waiting list, which is the single most useful thing you can do for the clinic.

Will a chaperone be present for an examination?

A chaperone is offered as standard for any intimate examination and is available on request for any other. You may also decline one, and that is recorded in your notes.

Request an appointment

Tell us the lane and a window that works

A clinician reads every request. You will receive an email with a proposed slot, and nothing is confirmed until you reply to it.

Please do not include detailed medical history in this form. Bring it to the appointment instead, where it can be recorded properly.
