HOW YOU ACCESS THE PRACTICE HAS CHANGED

Due to the current Coronavirus Pandemic, the way you access the Practice has changed. We are trying to safely resume as many of our services as possible, but we would ask you not to attend the practice unless asked to do so by a Clinician. If you do need to attend the practice please wear a face covering.

We would ask you to continue to telephone the surgery if you wish to arrange a telephone review or face to face appointment.  You can also contact us via eConsult.

Our Reception Team are trained in Care Navigation so will need to ask for a brief description of your problem to signpost you to the most appropriate person.

If you arrange a telephone consultation, your Clinician will review your problem and will then, depending on your needs:-

Online Booking

 Online appointments are available. We are still offering a small number of pre-bookable on the day telephone appointments.

Prescriptions

We would encourage patients not to attend the practice to order their prescription and we are unable to take prescription requests over the telephone. If you require a prescription please either complete a request form provided by the main entrance to the practice and post in the letterbox outside or if you are registered for on-line services, you can order your prescription through this service.

PLEASE NOTE: eConsults will be switched off over the weekend from 6:30pm on a Friday evening and will be switched back on Monday morning at 8am excluding bank holidays. This is to ensure that our patients seek more appropriate healthcare whilst we are closed. Any eConsults submitted on a Friday after 6:30pm will not be reviewed until the following Tuesday. You can still use the eConsult facility to look up general medical advice. You can also get advice from the NHS website or the NHS App. Your local pharmacist can help you with self care.

If your medical problem cannot wait until the practice is open please contact the NHS 111 helpline by dialling 111 from any phone, or by visiting NHS 111 online. NHS 111 online is also a good place to check your symptoms.
