Making an appointment
You do not need to be referred by your family doctor to attend the
centre. Most people refer themselves to the centre.
To book an appointment with the clinic telephone 01204 390771 from 8.30am
each morning (Monday to Friday).
If you are concerned about your symptoms or notice any changes in your
condition, e.g. pain or discharge, you should ask to speak to one of our
nurses before making an appointment. In this case it's best to ring before
9.30 in the morning if possible.
