Did you know you can ask for help online, using eConsult. Go to https://westernelms.webgp.com/ and enter your details and the reasons for the contact and the most appropriate person will respond / call you back or send you an appointment. Here is some of the feedback from June 2025 of people who have used it:

"I got exactly what I needed without having to call my GP surgery. It was on the Friday after hours and I needed my new repeat prescription to be added on immediately."

"As I had an administrative issue (referral to a specialist) already known to the surgery, I found econsult the most efficient option for all concerned. "

"It is so much better than the old system where one calls at 8am to try to book an appointment. It enables the patient to give enough information such that they can be appropriately managed, which is all I want."

"It's far easier than the nightmare of trying to phone the practice, queue and then hope for a available appointment."

"This platform allows the surgery to access the situation & suggest next steps in a timely fashion "
