Want to see a Doctor?
Our appointment system has changed. We now run a full digital triage system. If you are acutely unwell and want to see a GP, or wish to book a routine apointment to see a clinician then you must now complete the above form. This triage form will then be sent to the practice and will be viewed by our clinical triage team the same day, often within the hour! The clinical team will then recommend the best course of action, and we will get back in touch the same day. Please be assured that when you fill out the above form, there is always a clinician at the other end reading your form, it is not Artificial Intelligence! If you're struggling with the form, then you can ring the practice and our reception team will help you complete it, alternatively there is an iPad in reception where you can complete the form if you prefer.

This has it's advantages to you to, no longer will you have to wait hours on the phone to get through to us only to find that all our appointments are full. Managing demand this way also ensures that our routine appointment waiting times have fallen from 5 weeks down to within a week.
