Services
Online consultations
Our digital consultation platform enables patients to connect with healthcare professionals remotely. This service provides convenient access to medical advice for non-urgent matters through secure video calls, messaging, and telephone consultations. Available during standard operating hours with options for same-day appointments when clinically appropriate.
Repeat prescriptions
Patients can request regular medication supplies through our online system or NHS App. This service requires prior authorisation from your GP and includes automated reminders for collection from nominated pharmacies. Processing typically takes 2-3 working days with urgent requests prioritised.
Health screenings
We offer routine health assessments including cervical screening, diabetes monitoring, and cardiovascular risk evaluations. Our screening programmes follow NHS guidelines with invitations sent based on clinical need. Results are reviewed by qualified professionals with follow-up actions arranged when necessary.
Medical referrals
Our GPs can arrange specialist care through NHS secondary services. Referrals require initial consultation to determine clinical necessity. We coordinate appointments with hospitals and community specialists while maintaining continuity of care through shared electronic records.
Home visits
For patients with mobility challenges, we provide home visit services within our catchment area. Requests are triaged daily with priority given to urgent clinical needs. Our healthcare professionals conduct assessments and provide treatment while maintaining detailed medical records.
