Online eConsultation service

As a Partnership we feel eConsults are most suited to:

  • All administrative tasks such as medical/sick notes
  • To submit chronic disease reviews such as Contraceptive pill/Asthma/COPD/Hypertension (these may be requested by a clinician) 
  • To submit on request: a medication review
  • Self-help advice and information

We feel other clinical issues are best dealt with using one of the appropriate appointments as detailed above

Please be aware that any eConsult submitted may result in you being asked to contact reception to book a ROUTINE appointment.

 

Evening and Weekend Appointments

We are here for you, evenings and weekends and we want to make it easier for you to get an appointment at a time that suits you. Evening and weekend appointments are available for our patients, in addition to our normal opening hours – 8.30am to 6.30pm.

These evening and weekend appointments may take place by phone or face-to-face depending on your clinical need.

You may be offered an, another local GP practice or another local NHS Service. This is because we are working with other local GP practices to provide these appointments. Our practice is part of a small group of practices called a Primary Care Network. This group of practices work together in a number of ways including offering evening and weekend appointments to our patients.
