Your appointment

However you choose to contact us we may offer you a consultation:

  • by phone
  • face to face at the surgery
  • on a video call
  • by text or email.

Appointments by phone, video call or by text or email can be more flexible and often means the doctor or nurse can help you sooner.

Extended evening and weekend appointments at our St Johns hub

As part of Trafford Primary Health’s GP practice federation, Altrincham Medical Practice is part of a network of five GP practices offering Trafford patients an appointment with a Trafford GP or nurse.

You may not get to see your regular GP, however, appointments are available each weekday evening from 18:30-20:00 and on Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 1pm.

Phlebotomy appointments are also available.

If appointments are not available, you may also attend the Walk-In Centre at Trafford General Hospital. This is open every day from 8am until 8pm.
