Telephone Consults
From 1st April 2012 we will be offering two additional telephone consultations to each GP clinic. Telephone Consults can be used for follow-up appointments, medication reviews, for advice about changes to your medication or for any problem/advice that does not require an examination. You can pre-book these telephone consultations in advance or book them on the day. We will also be offering these telephone appointments on our on-line booking service. The doctor will phone you back at the specified time of the appointment, so you can choose a day and time convenient to you. Please ensure if you book a telephone consultation on-line, you include your telephone number in the section of free text
Important changes to our on-line booking system
From 1st April you will be able to book your nursing appointments on-line in addition to your GP appointments. We have altered our appointment structure to simplify it, allowing you to book (for example) 1 single 10 minute nursing appointment for a blood test appointment, a blood pressure testing or regular injection. Alternatively you can book 2 x 10 minute appointments (20 minutes) for a childhood vaccinations, cervical smear, a hypertension checkor an initial smoking cessation or weight management appointment.
