‼️‼️APPOINTMENT SYSTEM ‼️‼️

We have been working hard on a new appointment system to end the 8am rush. We have be moved a new online consultation service, Patient Triage. This is a great way for you to contact our practice for non-urgent medical or admin requests. It is very simple to fill out so please give it a try if you need to contact us. We really think that it is easier for most people than waiting on hold to speak to our Reception Team but welcome your feedback. If you do not have internet access or find it difficult to use a computer or smart phone you can call reception.

Your requests will be assessed by a GP.
The GP will decide who is the right clinician for your problem, how quickly do you need to be seen and do you need a telephone or face to face appointment.
The GP will also try to ensure that you have continuity of care seeing the same clinician for follow ups.
We hope that this will reduce the number of times you have to call us to book an appointment and will reduce your waiting time.

For urgent enquiries our staff will submit a request to the GP on your behalf, asking the same questions as the online form to gather information for the assessing GP. If you choose not to give the information, the GP will assume that the problem is non-urgent and will allocate an appointment which could be up to 4 weeks in the future. All staff clinical and non-clinical are governed by the same confidentiality protocols and as such it is in your best interests to provide the Reception Team with the information that they ask for.

enquiries can be submitted now using this link
