Use eConsult for medical care and questions.
Just click on the eConsult link on our website and we will do our best to provide an initial response by the end of the next working day, or within 5 working days for administrative questions. As eConsult is a separate system to your patient record, you do not need a log-in for this service, but it therefore needs to ask you to enter patient details and answer some safety questions. This service is available Monday to Friday, from 8 am up until the maximum number has been reached for that day.
