🚨 Important Update from Fishergate Hill Surgery 🚨

From Monday 8th September, we’re changing how you access GP appointments. We’re introducing a 'Total Triage' system – this means all GP appointment requests will need to be reviewed first by a clinician. You’ll no longer be able to book a GP appointment directly.

✅ Request help online via our website or the NHS App
✅ Speak to our team who can complete a request form with you

We’ll review your needs and respond with the right care option.

📅 Please note: Reception will NOT be able to pre-book GP appointments for the week starting 8th September onwards.

💻 More info is available on our website (https://www.fishergatehill.nhs.uk/2025/08/04/appointment-system-change/) or in leaflets at reception.
