Walk-In Surgery
In order to offer improved access to appointments, without the need for booking, Whitstable Medical Practice offers a Walk-In Surgery service for patients with a new medical problem which requires attention on the day.
- This is run at each of our three main sites from 08:00 – 11:00, Monday to Friday.
- This is available exclusively for Whitstable Medical Practice patients – you must attend the surgery that you are registered at.
- No appointment is necessary, you do not need to book.
- Please pick up a Walk-In Surgery information booklet from reception so that you are aware when and how this service should be used.

Missed Appointments
If you miss your appointment, someone else will not be able to see a GP or nurse. Please ring in and cancel if you are unable to keep your appointment for any reason.
Telephone Advice
Sometimes you may prefer to consult your GP or nurse by telephone. To arrange a telephone consultation, phone for an appointment in the usual way and ask to speak to the doctor or nurse on the telephone. You will be asked for a telephone number for the doctor or nurse to contact you for your consultation.
