Telephone Triage

We now offer telephone triage. Triage just means deciding what, if any, treatment you need and which clinician you need to be seen by to get this treatment. Offering telephone triage means that you will be able to speak to a clinician on the same day and either your problem dealt with over the phone, if appropriate, or an appointment offered if the clinician feels you need to be seen. We hope this will work well and help improve access to appointments.

Prescriptions
As of 4th January 2016 you will only be able to order your prescription over the phone between 2pm - 5pm. You can however order online or by calling into the surgery at any time. Please allow 2 working days before collection and make allowances for weekends and public holidays.
