When are online consultations available?
Online consultations are offered during our working hours.
Why are they showing as unavailable due to capacity?
In order to safely manage all online consultations, we limit the number we can receive each day, this is in line with the clinical capacity we have and to ensure we can safely manage the requests. If they are showing unavailable, they will automatically re-enable at 8am on our next working day.
