A full assessment will be undertaken using the Manchester Triage System. Patients with minor ailments will be offered advice and asked to return within clinic hours for further management (pharmacy / routine appointment etc.).

Emergency Department patients are not guaranteed to see a Doctor. This need is determined by the triage category.

If you need an Ambulance for an emergency please call 999 and
