Routine appointments
eConsult
Online consultations allow you to provide information, enabling your doctor to assess your concerns and recommend the best course of action. Once submitted, we will respond within two working days, or sooner if possible. eConsult is open to everyone and does not require a login.
By submitting an eConsult, your responses will be reviewed by a GP, who will determine the most appropriate next steps for your care. This could include a prescription, a phone call, or an in-person appointment with one of the following clinicians: GP, Paramedic, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Musculoskeletal Practitioner (FCP) or Pharmacist.
We also use eConsult to distribute online questionnaires for medication reviews.
Additionally, eConsult can be used to reach us for administrative requests, such as extending a sick note.

A request for a home visit can be made but patients are reminded that it is preferable that consultations take place in the surgery where diagnostic facilities are ideal.
Emergency requests can be made at any time, but it is essential that the nature of the emergency is stated as home visits are usually restricted to Elderly, housebound, or seriously ill patient.
