Book your appointment
Book a virtual appointment with a consultant
To ensure we keep our patients and colleagues as safe as possible it is highly likely that your appointment will take place by telephone or video giving you the convenience and same fast access to our consultants without the need to travel to a Spire hospital.
If we feel that a virtual consultation would not be appropriate for your symptoms or concerns we'll contact you to confirm arrangements for a face to face appointment.
If you need tests following your virtual consultation you might need to attend the hospital where you'll have your temperature taken on arrival and be asked a few short screening questions to check for any Covid symptoms including:
- recent onset of a new continuous cough
- a high temperature
- a loss of, or change in, normal sense of taste or smell (anosmia)
If you have any of these symptoms, your face to face appointment will be cancelled and you will need to ring 111 for further management of your symptoms.
Please do not attend the hospital if you develop, or have had recent contact with anyone with the Covid symptoms listed above.
Please read the latest coronavirus (COVID-19) information and learn more about virtual consultations.
You can book appointments for yourself or for someone else using this online booking service. If you wish to book a follow up appointment, please contact the hospital to make these arrangements.
To book online and secure an appointment you will need to pay at the time of booking. Once you’ve chosen your appointment slot it will be held for 20 minutes while you complete the details needed to confirm.
We accept Mastercard and Visa credit and debit cards.

Mr Gareth Tervit
Consultant Vascular and General Surgeon
MB ChB, FRCS (Gen Surg)
Professional profile:
I am a Vascular and General surgeon, specialising in disorders of veins, arteries and have a general surgical practice including laparoscopic cholecystectomy, hernia surgery (laparoscopic and open) and thyroid surgery. I have been practicing as a consultant in the North East for 13 years now- the bulk of my practice is now Vascular surgery and I have a special interest in the treatment of varicose veins. During my period as vascular lead for County Durham and Darlington Trust I established the trust centre for radiofrequency ablation of varicose veins (RFA also known as VNUS or Venefit) and usually practice this as the first line in the treatment of patients with varicose veins (NICE guidelines 2013).
