New Emergency Appointment Allocations Procedure
Due to the increase need for emergency appointments at the surgery the practice has decided to change the way it allocates emergency appointments on a daily basis. In an effort to help accommodate as many patients as possible.
Each day the practice allocates emergency slots spread over the morning and afternoon depending on how many dentists that are working on that day to accommodate our patient's needs.
