Clinics

Those attending queue and wait sessions will be seen on a first come, first served basis. If the queue and wait session becomes full it will close before the advertised time. You can either attend the next queue and wait session or make an appointment. Appointment clinics may run alongside the queue and wait sessions and some people may be seen sooner than those waiting for a queue and wait session.
