Services
Online Triage System
Our online triage system enables patients to submit appointment requests digitally through SystmConnect. This secure platform allows for discreet symptom reporting and clinical assessment, ensuring equitable access to care. Requests are handled with the same urgency whether submitted online or via telephone, with treatment room appointments remaining unaffected.
Enhanced Access Appointments
We offer extended access appointments every third Saturday (9am-5pm) and weekday evenings (6:30pm-8pm). These routine, pre-booked appointments cater to patients with scheduling constraints during standard hours. Availability varies weekly, requiring advance booking through our practice team to ensure appropriate resource allocation.
NHS App Services
The NHS App provides 24/7 access to essential healthcare services including repeat prescriptions, appointment booking, and health record access. Patients can securely verify their identity to access NHS 111 online services and locate nearby medical facilities, complementing traditional contact methods while maintaining data privacy standards.
Pharmacy First Scheme
This initiative allows participating chemists to issue prescriptions without prior GP appointments for specific conditions. Patients benefit from quicker access to necessary medications while reducing GP workload, with pharmacists providing expert advice on appropriate treatment pathways and medication management.
RSV Vaccinations
We administer RSV vaccines to patients aged 75-79 as part of NHS preventative care programmes. This single-dose vaccination protects against respiratory syncytial virus, which causes cold-like symptoms but can lead to severe complications in vulnerable individuals. Patients in the eligible age group can schedule vaccinations through our practice team.
