Respiratory and flu-season reviews are running weekday mornings — same-week slots are usually available.

General practice & rehabilitation
Spruce Lumen Clinic runs longer consultations, on-site respiratory testing and physiotherapy under one roof, so most concerns are assessed and planned in a single visit.
Four care lanes
Each lane has its own session times and appointment length. If you are unsure which fits, choose general practice and the triage nurse will move you to the right clinician.
01
A single 25-minute appointment for new symptoms, ongoing worries, minor injuries, contraception, travel advice and referrals. Bloods and dressings are done in the same visit where possible.
02
Spirometry, peak-flow review, inhaler technique checks and asthma or COPD action plans. Run as a dedicated morning clinic so testing, results and the plan happen in one sitting.
03
Assessment and hands-on treatment for back, neck, shoulder and knee problems, plus a printed home programme. Evening sessions exist so you can keep the plan going around work.
04
Yearly reviews for blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid and cholesterol. Bloods are taken a week ahead so the appointment is spent on the results and what changes next, not on waiting.
Your visit, step by step
First visits are usually the ones people worry about, so here is exactly what happens once you send a request.
Tell us the lane, a preferred window and a line about the concern. Requests are read the same working day.
A nurse confirms the clinician and length of appointment, or offers an earlier slot if the concern is urgent.
Arrive five minutes early. Tests that can be done on site are done in the same visit, with results explained aloud.
You leave with the plan in writing: next steps, what to watch for, and when to come back or ask again.
Small things that make a 25-minute appointment go further.
Care team
You are not passed between strangers. Whoever you see reads the same notes, and you can ask to stay with one clinician for a course of care.
General practice and long-term condition reviews. Particular interest in medication simplification for people managing three or more prescriptions.
Runs the spirometry clinic, inhaler technique coaching and asthma action plans, including first reviews for children over six.
Musculoskeletal assessment, post-operative knee and shoulder rehabilitation, and return-to-work programmes for manual roles.
Hours and access
Sessions are fixed week to week. The last appointment in every session is booked 30 minutes before it closes.

Questions we are asked most
No. Send the request first and bring proof of identity to the visit. Registration takes about five minutes at reception and can be completed while you wait, so it does not shorten your appointment.
Mark your request as urgent and describe the symptoms plainly. Urgent requests are triaged first and usually offered a same-day nurse slot. For chest pain, breathing difficulty, heavy bleeding, stroke symptoms or a serious injury, go straight to emergency services instead of waiting for a reply.
Request a repeat two working days before you run out. Most are approved without an appointment. Medicines that need monitoring — blood pressure, thyroid, diabetes or pain medication — are issued alongside a review so the dose stays right.
Routine blood results are back within three working days and swabs within five. We contact you either way, including when results are normal, and every result comes with a plain explanation of what it means for your plan.
Yes, from six months in general practice and from six years in the respiratory clinic. Appointments for children are booked at the start of a session to keep waiting short, and a parent or guardian needs to stay in the room.
Cancel through your confirmation reply whenever you can, so the slot goes to someone else. If you arrive more than ten minutes late we will try to fit you in later the same session, but the appointment may need to move to the next available slot.
Phone appointments suit results discussions, medication changes and follow-ups, and are offered in the same sessions as in-person visits. Anything that needs an examination, a test or a dressing is booked in the clinic.
Request an appointment
One short form. A nurse replies with a confirmed clinician and time — or an earlier slot if the concern needs one.
