Consultations
Plaza Medical encourages patients to maintain an ongoing relationship with their doctor wherever possible and will endeavour to accommodate that by having urgent, routine and long consultation appointments available. Please advise reception if you require a longer consultation or a special appointment. If you are unwell or need an urgent appointment for medical reasons please call in the morning and after speaking to reception or our practice nurse we will do our best to accommodate you. Please note that our doctors will not generally prescribe medication without review so if you are on a regular medication please take this into account when organising your appointments.

Results and Telephone consultations
Generally patients are able to call Reception to check results of investigations. We encourage patients to call between 1-2pm to check on results. Reception staff are able to review any notes the doctor has left regarding your results. If there is further information needed to be communicated with you regarding your results you may be called by the practice nurse or your doctor or be called by reception to make an appointment. Some investigations results should be only discussed in person (such as HIV results) and the doctor may request that you make a follow up appointment for those results.
Our doctors are generally unable to do telephone consultations or take phone calls. If you wish to follow up or discuss your results with your doctor further please make an appointment.
