Addressing Unforeseen Circumstances

Occasionally, unforeseen circumstances arise that require GPs to spend extended consultation time with certain patients or to prioritise urgent situations or emergencies. Regrettably, this is unavoidable and cannot be mitigated, as our foremost priority is to ensure that every patient receives the necessary care and attention. While this may occasionally lead to delays, please be assured that should you require additional time with your GP, it will be accommodated. Your health and well-being are our utmost priorities, and we are dedicated to addressing your concerns comprehensively and thoroughly.
