The NHS across Essex will be better prepared for outbreaks of new infectious diseases if the public follows Public Health England advice. We have put in place measures to ensure the safety of patients and staff which may mean your patient experience is subject to change. For all urgent appointment, we ask that you undertake a symptom assessment through DoctorLink.
The symptom assessment will ask you a number of questions to help to identify your problem. The outcome of your assessment will direct you to the right treatment, whether emergency care, your GP, nurse or self-care. Once the request has been submitted, you will then be contacted by the Practice Team, to arrange an appointment within the identified timeframe (as outlined in the outcome of your symptom checker).
The information you provide will be shared with our clinical team (where appropriate) and will assist in providing robust information of your problem to the required clinical team member prior to your appointment. With patients' needs at the heart of everything we do, our website has been designed to make it easy for you to gain instant access to the information you need.
