Welcome to

Consult online


picture


• Face-to-face appointments are available to all patients, but you may be asked to discuss your conditions over the phone or online first to assess what would be most appropriate for you.


• In addition to face-to-face consultations, we do offer consultations online or over the phone. This can be a convenient and flexible way to receive healthcare but if you would prefer to see a GP or healthcare professional in person then this will be arranged for you.

Did you know…?

We are participating in a new approach to improve access for patients to GP appointments. The aim is to direct patients to the most appropriate healthcare professional, which may be a GP or a pharmacist.

If your symptoms could be resolved by a booked consultation with the pharmacist instead of the GP, you will be given a same-day referral to a pharmacy of your choice.

We think this is a good thing. Once you see how great your local pharmacist is – they are highly trained and skilled clinicians experienced in treating minor illnesses – we don’t think you’ll look back.

This will also help us to free up GP appointments for people with more complex health needs and ensure that everyone gets treated at the right time, by the right healthcare professional.

We are keen to hear what you think and will be listening to your comments and feedback about your experience of using this service.


Four ways to seek healthcare advice from a GP


• Call the surgery to discuss a face-to-face or virtual (telephone or video) appointment.


• Visit our website and access eConsult to complete a confidential triage online form. 


• Call NHS 111 or go online to seek advice https://111.nhs.uk/


• Download the NHS App to order repeat prescriptions, book appointments and check your symptoms.
