Accepted Answer

If you need to speak to a clinician about a non-urgent medical problem at any time of day, even when we are closed, use the online consultation service. It’s quick, secure and means you no longer need to worry about calling the practice as soon as we open.

Simply input your symptoms into the form. Most requests are handled same day and you have access to reliable and trustworthy self-care information 24/7 which might save you time needing an appointment altogether.

You can also use the service to request test results, sick notes, referral letters and medical reports. Your data is secure at all times – including during a video consultation or telephone call.
