Total Triage Strategy

We are a total triage practice meaning all requests for appointments are triaged by a GP in the first instance.  When the doctor triages your medical concern ensuring you are given the appropriate care by the appropriate clinician at the right time.  This helps us to clinically prioritise patients requesting acute care ensuring patients are given the care they need at the time.

Our aim is to get back to you by the end of the next working day at the latest.  You can either submit an eConsult or telephone us on 01325316637 to request an appointment.

In addition we are releasing a percentage of appointments for patients to book directly into with a GP online, we are trialling a small number at present.

We have a small number of pre-bookable face to face appointments available where you would need to access your NHS app or online log in to book these appointments.
