Here at Lindley Village Surgery we operate an appointment only system. Our team of receptionists are here to assist you and will help in any way that they can. Please note If you cannot keep your appointment please let us know, so it can be offered to someone else. It is the responsibility of the patient to keep their appointment.
To book an appointment please phone the surgery, call in person or use the online appointment system. We have a number of appointments that can be booked up to six weeks in advance; we ask that patients who have difficulties in making an appointment on the day or the following day request these appointments. By operating this appointment system we aim to see all patients within 48 hours and accommodate patients wanting an appointment at a future time.
