Wherever possible, please use our online options to access our services.  Doing so will assist us by keeping our phone lines free for those who need urgent medical help or cannot access online sources of information. 

GP online services are designed to give you, the patient more choice and flexibility in how and when you contact and interact with us.  They can also give you direct access to your medical records and test results, which was previously only possible by phoning or visiting the surgery.

eConsult - our Online Service

Our online eConsult portal is not suitable for emergency medical problems but can be used for simple routine medical queries, administrative issues or to update your GP about your medical condition. 

If you know you need to speak with or see a healtcare professional about a medical concern, please visit our Appointment page to view your options on how to contact us. 

Please only use eConsult for:

  • sick certification once you have self-certified for 7 days
  • submitting blood pressures, weights and other measurements your GP has asked for
  • contraception and HRT medication reviews
  • simple medication reviews
  • routine medical queries about a non-urgent condition when you do not think you need to speak to the GP
  • some minor ailments such as urinary infection, that are best dealt with promptly but can be addressed by a few directed questions
  • to update your GP about an ongoing issue
  • for information about blood test results
  • general administrative requests.

Our eConsult service is currently available from 7.30am Monday to Friday but will have a maximum limit applied. 

However, the ability to browse for self-help advice and access the NHS 111 service is available through eConsult 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
