Appointments

Due to the current situation, all appointments are offered as telephone triage appointments by our doctors unless otherwise directed.

Please do not travel to the surgery unless advised to do so. Where possible your consultation will take place over the telephone or by video. Face to face appointments at the surgery are to be for the most urgent cases only.

For non-urgent matters, please submit an online consultation (eConsult) request and we will get back to you by the end of next working day.

For non-urgent issues, please follow the guidelines below and choose the right service, which can help you without any appointment. This will help us being more efficient and making an appointment available to you when you need it the most.

Pharmacy

Your pharmacy can advise you on minor illness without the need of an appointment. Please speak to a pharmacist first.

The 35 conditions which can be treated at home with advice from the pharmacist include:

Pharmacists are qualified healthcare professionals who can offer clinical advice, over the counter medicines and their use, to effectively and safely manage a range of minor health concerns. They can also help you to decide whether you'll need to see a doctor. You don't need an appointment and you won't even be asked to make a purchase. Every pharmacy also has a private consultation area for you to talk about your symptoms in private if you prefer.

Why does the receptionist need to ask what’s wrong with me?

Our reception staff are important members of the practice team and it has been agreed they should ask patients ‘why the need to be seen’.

We have trained our reception staff to ask certain questions to help make sure you receive the most appropriate medical care from the most appropriate health professional at the most appropriate time.
