We have been looking at how we can improve access to your GP practice and improve the patient experience. In partnership with DoctorLink, we will be running a pilot which will give you access to a new service. We aim to provide our patients with the most suitable healthcare advice, to help you share your symptoms with your GP/nurse, and to avoid lengthy telephone wait times if you need to request an appointment.
Please remember all prescription requests need to be ordered direct with the surgery and not through 3rd party pharmacists (including online pharmacies).
