How our walk-ins work
Our walk-in services operate on a first come, first served basis and we operate a slot-based system. This means that once you have booked in, you may be asked to return later in the day.
We do this to reduce your waiting time in the clinic. Walk-in slots are dependent on our capacity and are not available to book by phone. We still offer limited appointments that are bookable online.
Saturday will remain an appointment clinic with bookings made by telephone from Thursday of that week.
If there are no appointments available, please try again later. Appointments are released 24 hours in advance at 10am.
