You can also book a nurse and clinic appointments by phone.
Online Access – Patient Triage
We now offer online consultations through our service, Patient Triage.
This is a quick and simple way to contact the practice for non-urgent medical or administrative issues.
- Available Monday to Friday, 8:00–9:00 am
- Designed to be easy to complete
- Please provide specific and concise details, even within the character limit
We believe this is more convenient than waiting on hold, but we welcome your feedback.

Booking by Phone
You can call us from 8:00 am on weekdays to request:
- Telephone or video consultations

Reception staff will ask for details to ensure you are booked with the most appropriate clinician.
Our team is trained in Care Navigation and may offer appointments with:
- Advanced Nurse Practitioners
- Mental Health Nurses
- Physiotherapists
- Audiologists
- Practice Nurses
- Pharmacists (via the Common Ailments Service)
Some conditions require a face-to-face examination and cannot be assessed over the phone or via video.
For telephone consultations, you may be asked to send a photograph via a secure link (accuRx).
Please speak to a receptionist before sending any photographs, and ensure your consent is recorded.
Urgent Appointments
If you feel your issue is urgent and cannot wait for a routine appointment, you will be placed on the on-call doctor's list. The duty GP will call you to assess whether an urgent appointment is required.
Children under 16 with acute medical problems will always be offered a same-day consultation.
Nurses and Health Care Support Workers
Appointments are available Monday to Friday (morning and afternoon) and can be booked 4 to 6 weeks in advance.
Reception will ask about the nature of your appointment to ensure you're booked into the appropriate clinic.
You may also request a non-urgent appointment by emailing:
[email protected]
Did Not Attend (DNA) Policy
If you are unable to attend your appointment, please cancel it in advance.
Missed appointments:
- Waste clinical time
- Prevent other patients from being seen
- Increase waiting times for everyone
If you fail to attend two appointments, a warning letter will be issued. A further missed appointment may result in removal from our patient list and the need to register with another GP practice.

Out-of-hours care is provided by the Swansea GP Out of Hours Service during:
- Weekdays: 6:30 pm to 8:00 am

To access this service, call 111 and follow the prompts. A call handler will collect your details and arrange for a clinician to speak with you.
