eConsult update for
TUESDAY 23RD SEPTEMBER.

Unfortunately we still have sickness absence within our admin team for tomorrow so we have taken the decision to have eConsult switched off until Wednesday. We will be open for emergency issues and the message remains the same for routine non-urgent queries.

We had hoped to have eConsult back on tomorrow but with only 2 members of our admin team, 1 of which being our newest team member, it is not feasible.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and would like to thank our patients for their understanding on this matter.

e-Consult Update - RE: Thursday 18th & Tuesday 23rd September

Unfortunately due to sickness absence within our admin team e-Consult will be switched off tomorrow (18th September). The practice will still be open for emergencies only. We kindly request that all non-urgent health matters wait until e-Consult is switched back on.

A decision will be made tomorrow, staff dependent, as to whether or not e-Consult will be available on Tuesday 23rd of September (day following the public holiday), or if we will have emergency appointments only.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and appreciate your patience and understanding.

Many thanks.

Staff shortage

Unfortunately, due to sickness and annual leave, we will only have two members of our reception team in today. They will be working as efficiently and as fast as they can, and we appreciate your patience and understanding if calls are not answered as quickly as normal.

Thank you for your understanding.
