We are moving to an improved online patient access system called Smart Triage, which is made by Rapid Health.

This will allow you to self-book medical appointments, and make administrative requests, at your convenience.

The new system will be available in February Date to be confirmed . The link to Smart Triage will be accessible through our website. It will be similar to the process you are currently doing.

No registration or setting of passwords is required to access Smart Triage.
