Flu and travel-vaccine clinics run on Tuesday and Thursday evenings until 30 November. Reserve a slot.
Four lanes · One named clinician each
Ash Paper is a four-clinician general practice. Every appointment is thirty minutes or longer, notes are written while you are still in the room, and the person who assessed you is the person who follows up.
How we book
Send the form and a receptionist calls within one working day to agree a time — nothing is auto-assigned to you.
Who you see
Each lane belongs to one clinician. Follow-ups return to them unless you ask otherwise or they are away.
What you leave with
A plain-language note of what was discussed, what happens next and who to contact, sent the same day.
Care lanes
We run four lanes rather than a single general list. It keeps appointments long enough to be useful and means you are booked with someone who works in that area every week.
01
Dr Marielle Okonjo
New or unclear symptoms, infections, skin complaints, pain that will not settle, mental-health reviews, and anything you would normally bring to a family doctor. Bring a list — we work through all of it in one sitting rather than asking you to rebook.
02
Dr Anselm Reidy
Blood pressure, diabetes, asthma and thyroid reviews, plus medication rationalisation when a repeat list has grown longer than it needs to be. Reviews are booked as a pair — an assessment, then a follow-up six to eight weeks later.
03
Dr Priya Vantrees
Contraception fitting and removal, menopause assessment and review, cervical screening, and period or pelvic-pain investigation. Fittings need a short phone assessment first, which the receptionist arranges when you send the form.
04
Nurse-led, with Dr Reidy on call
Destination-specific advice, course planning for vaccines that need spacing, seasonal flu, and certificates for travel or work. Book at least six weeks before departure where a course is involved; shorter notice is often still workable.
Your visit
Four steps from the moment you send a request. Nothing here needs an app, a login or a patient portal.
Step 01
The form below asks for a lane and a rough preference — morning, afternoon or the early clinic. Reception calls back within one working day to fix a real time.
Step 02
Two days ahead you receive a short message listing anything worth bringing: current medicines, readings you have been taking, or a symptom diary if one would help.
Step 03
Thirty to fifty minutes with your lane clinician. Examinations, bloods and swabs are done in the same visit wherever possible rather than booked separately.
Step 04
A plain-language summary arrives the same day with the plan, any prescription details, and what should prompt you to come back sooner.
Clinicians
You can request a particular clinician on the form. If they are fully booked, reception will tell you when they are next free rather than moving you quietly to someone else.
Everyday general practice
Founded the practice around longer appointments. Particular interest in undifferentiated symptoms — the visits that do not fit neatly into one box — and in adult mental-health review.
Long-term conditions
Runs the paired-review model for blood pressure, diabetes and respiratory care, and leads medication reviews for patients carrying long repeat lists.
Women's health
Fits and removes contraception on site, runs the menopause review clinic, and holds the Friday screening list. Chaperones are available for every examination.
Before you come in
The things people ask reception most often. If your question is not here, add it to the note field on the request form and it will be answered on the call back.
Bring your current medicines in their boxes — including anything bought over the counter, plus vitamins and supplements — and any readings you have been recording at home.
If you have a list of concerns, bring the whole list. Appointments are built long enough to work through several things at once, and it is more useful to see them together than one at a time.
Yes. Registration is open and you do not need to have left your previous practice first — we request your records once you are registered here, and the transfer usually completes within a few weeks.
You can be seen before the records arrive. Bring a summary or a repeat-prescription slip if you have one, so prescribing can continue without a gap.
Repeats are issued for three months at a time and reviewed annually in your lane. Requests are handled in the order received and are usually ready within two working days.
If a medicine is due its review, reception will offer you a review appointment alongside the prescription rather than simply declining the request.
Children of registered families are seen in the everyday general-practice lane. Appointments for under-fives are kept in the first slots of the morning and after school where possible, so waiting time is short.
A parent or guardian should attend with anyone under sixteen unless a prior arrangement has been agreed with the clinician.
All four consulting rooms and the treatment room are step-free, with a level entrance and an accessible toilet. There is a height-adjustable examination bed in two of the rooms.
Interpreters can be arranged at no cost — note the language on the request form and reception will book one for the appointment. You are equally welcome to bring your own.
Tell reception as early as you can and the slot goes back to the same-week list for someone else. There is no charge and no mark on your record for cancelling.
If you are running late, call ahead. Short delays are usually absorbed; beyond about fifteen minutes the appointment may need to be shortened or moved so the rest of the list holds.
Request an appointment
This is a request, not a confirmed booking. A receptionist calls within one working day to agree a time that genuinely works — including the early clinic if that suits you better.
If you need help today and cannot wait for a call back, contact your local urgent care service.
