💻 Why we prefer Engage Consult

You may have heard of eConsult, another online GP system used by some practices. At our practice, we use Engage Consult because we feel it works better for our patients.

⭐ Why Engage works well:
✔ It’s simpler and quicker to complete
✔ Only 7 short questions – usually takes just a minute or two
✔ Lets patients explain their problem in their own words
✔ Helps clinicians quickly understand what help you need
✔ Gets your request to the right person first time

Systems like eConsult often involve longer forms and more detailed triage questions, which can take patients more time to complete.

📱 If you’re able to use Engage Consult, please use this instead of phoning the practice. This helps keep our phone lines free for patients who cannot access online services.

Using Engage helps us review requests safely and make sure patients get the right care as quickly as possible. Thank you for your support 💙

📚 Back to school after the Easter holidays? Don’t forget your medication!

As children head back to school, it’s a great time to check:
✔ Expiry dates on inhalers, EpiPens, and any “just in case” medications
✔ Any other medication your child may keep at school – make sure there’s enough for the term

💊 Ordering early through Patient Services online, in-person forms, or the prescription line helps ensure your child has everything they need without delays.

✅ Planning ahead keeps children safe and ready for a healthy start to the term! 🌟

❓ Why do we ask questions on Engage Consult?

We know some patients feel there are a lot of questions, but there are only 7 quick questions and they usually take just a few minutes to complete.

These questions help our clinicians:
✔ Understand your symptoms clearly
✔ Assess how urgent your problem may be
✔ Direct you to the right clinician or service first time
✔ Avoid unnecessary appointments when advice or another service may help faster.

Giving good information at the start helps us provide safer, quicker and more accurate care.

🚨 Don’t ignore your bowel screening kit 🚨

Bowel cancer is common, but early detection saves lives.
Your home test kit is quick, simple, and done in private.
