APPOINTMENT ADVICE
We use a system called askmyGP which is an easy and fast way to ask for an appointment. This service is not for repeat prescription requests please use the NHS APP to order regular repeat medication.
AskmyGP is available Monday to Friday 8:00 – 10:00am
- We will triage the request to ensure those with the most clinically urgent need are allocated an appointment
- We aim to respond to routine requests within 3 working days, to arrange your appointment (that could be in the next 2 weeks)
- You can request a particular doctor or nurse (so long as they’re working & available, though for continuity of care you may wait for a preferred Clinician)
- You can choose to be contacted by the surgery by telephone, secure message, video call or a face to face appointment
- Video consultations are provided by our own doctors through a secure link to your mobile, tablet or laptop for no extra charge
- You can register for askmyGP now, without any paperwork
If you prefer to phone, one of our receptionists will take a few details about your problem or request and then pass these to the GP. However you choose to get in touch, your GP will get contact you quickly and either sort out your problem on the phone, by secure message, or arrange to see you the same day, or another day if that’s more convenient. Please note that ALL calls are recorded for training & monitoring purposes.
Please note you can no longer book a GP appointment using our previous online appointment system.
askmyGP is available to all our patients, and you can use it to ask about your children or other people you care for (if they are registered with us).
That’s it – simple and straightforward!
We are encouraging everyone who has access to a computer, smart phone or tablet to use askmyGP:
- it saves you time
- really ill patients don’t have to wait for urgent slots at the end of surgeries
- GPs can manage their time more effectively, booking any follow-up appointments you might need
