We are pleased to announce the arrival of a new way of getting advice from your GP -eConsult
Please click on the panel above and follow the guidance to see how you can get the quickest and most appropriate care for your problem.
We know that it can be frustrating sometimes getting an appointment that fits is around your life so we have included the following options:
· Ways you can help yourself to manage or improve your symptoms without needing to visit your GP
· Ways you can get professional advice from professionals other than your GP e.g. your local pharmacist
· A way of contacting your GP via an e-consult for either a medical problem or an administrative problem such as a sick note
We really hope that you find this new service of benefit to you, we would love to hear your feedback when you have used it.
This service is intended for our patients who are in the UK at the time of using e-Consult – and not those who are overseas for any reason. The practice regrets that it cannot offer telephone or email consultations to patients who are outside of the UK, and for legal reasons we are not in a position to deal with any clinical issues involving patients who are abroad. If you are travelling abroad, you should ensure that you have adequate medical/travel insurance. In the event that you require medical assistance, you should seek a local service and inform your insurance company as appropriate.
On return from your travels, please do not hesitate to contact the surgery if you need further assistance and bring any relevant medical information relating to the episode with you.

Friends and Family Test (FFT) in General Practice
From 1st December 2014, it is a contractural requirement that all GP Practices undertake the NHS Friends & Family Test (FFT). The primary aims of the FFT are to:
1. Gather useful feedback from patients who use our services that can be fed directly to the staff that provide their care in a simple format.
2. Identify areas where improvements can be made so practical action can be taken.
3. Inform current and prospective patients about the experiences of those who use the practice services.
You are able to start giving us your feedback NOW. Please go to "Friend & Family Survey" on the right hand side of this page. Paper copies are also available at the surgery.
