📢 Important Update: New Appointment System from 1st July

From 1st July 2025, Fairmore Medical Practice is moving to a new appointment system called Accurx Total Triage.

This means that all appointment requests will first go through an online or phone triage system. You can send your request through our website or call us, and a doctor or clinician will review it and decide the best next step. This might be a same-day phone call, a face-to-face appointment, or helpful advice via message.

If your problem is routine and not urgent, your appointment may be booked for a future date — this could be in a few weeks’ time. Urgent problems will continue to be prioritised.

This change will help us make sure every patient gets the right care, at the right time, with the right clinician.

Thank you for your support as we make this improvement to our service.

📢 اہم اطلاع: یکم جولائی سے نیا اپوائنٹمنٹ سسٹم

جولائی 2025 سے، فیئرمور میڈیکل پریکٹس ایک نئے اپوائنٹمنٹ سسٹم پر منتقل ہو رہا ہے جسے Accurx Total Triage کہا جاتا ہے۔

اس کا مطلب ہے کہ تمام اپوائنٹمنٹ کی درخواستیں سب سے پہلے آن لائن یا فون کے ذریعے جائزہ لینے کے عمل سے گزریں گی۔ آپ ہماری ویب سائٹ کے ذریعے درخواست بھیج سکتے ہیں یا ہمیں کال کریں، اور ایک ڈاکٹر یا کلینیشین اس کا جائزہ لے کر اگلا مناسب قدم تجویز کریں گے۔ یہ ایک ہی دن کی کال، کلینک میں اپوائنٹمنٹ، یا میسج کے ذریعے مشورہ ہو سکتا ہے۔

اگر آپ کا مسئلہ روٹین ہے اور فوری نوعیت کا نہیں، تو اپوائنٹمنٹ کچھ ہفتوں بعد دی جا سکتی ہے۔ فوری مسائل کو اب بھی ترجیح دی جائے گی۔

ہماری بہتر سروس کی طرف اس قدم میں آپ کے تعاون کا شکریہ۔
