Wooler Health patients only

E-consult

We ask that you use econsult only for sick notes, medication or admin queries or if you are unable to contact the surgery during normal opening ours.
If you have a clinical problem or query, it's much better to speak to our trained care navigators who can arrange a suitable appointment for you with the most appropriate member of the team.

Thank you

WOOLER HEATH - DOCTORS' FUND

We have a 'Doctors' Fund' which is used to buy equipment to loan to patients which isn't available on the NHS. The fund was started many years ago by a donation from a family who were grateful for the care which had been given to their loved one. We formed a board of trustees and opened the fund as a registered charity with the specific aim of buying equipment to help patients which otherwise they would have to buy themselves. The fund is now run by our Patient Group.

Our most recent purchase are two knee walkers. These are really useful for anyone who has had recent ankle/foot surgery or injury and is unable to weight bear. These were brought to our attention by a patient who had had recent surgery, bought one herself and found it to be a godsend to get around while she couldn't weight bear for 6 weeks. Having had similar enquiries in the past, the Group decided it would be a good idea to have some for loan. We have also bought a new wheelchair and now have 3 for loan.

We would like to thank everyone who has made a donation to the fund as we couldn't buy such equipment for loan without them. If you have any ideas about equipment which you think would be useful to help patient care when needed, please let us know.

Thank you.
