Consultations are held in Newport and Tayport each weekday morning and afternoon by appointment. Doctors work within a flexible rota and not all doctors work every day. Newport surgery premises are open from 8am - 6pm each weekday and Tayport surgery premises are open from 8am - 12pm each weekday. Your house call / urgent appointment request may be triaged by a doctor to ascertain how best to deal with your request.

Patients who genuinely need to be seen urgently on the day will always be seen but if your problem is not urgent you will be offered an appointment at a later time.

It can be hard to predict the demand for each site every day so it may mean that you will be offered an appointment at the surgery that is not your nearest. If you are able to attend either surgery this will help us greatly in providing the quickest access for you.

At times, such as when a doctor is on annual leave, the Practice will use a locum doctor in order to assist the Practice.  Locum doctors are fully qualified general practitioners and have been fully certified by NHS health boards to enable them to locum at practices.
