We want our patients to get access to the most appropriate healthcare service for their condition or need. This may be someone other than a doctor. We have a range of healthcare professionals we can now utilise including a pharmacist, physiotherapist, social prescriber (professional dedicated to social care and well-being) and a paramedic. These professionals have specialist knowledge and skills in their field and appointments are often more readily available than waiting for a GP.
We have employed Care Navigators on the reception desk who will assist patients to access the most appropriate healthcare professional and ultimately aim to achieve the best outcome. We ask that patients share with the Navigators the reason for contacting us to help facilitate this process.
Appointments can be booked up to 6 weeks in advance. We have a number of appointments that are released daily to help with capacity for issues you feel can’t wait for a routine appointment.
