Services
GP Consultations
Our practice offers comprehensive GP consultations for routine and urgent medical needs. Patients can book appointments through telephone or online systems, with options for same-day urgent care. Consultations typically last 10 minutes but can be extended for complex cases. Our doctors provide diagnosis, treatment plans, and referrals to specialist services when required.
Prescription Management
We manage repeat prescriptions through secure digital platforms and physical request forms. Patients receive medications after clinical review, with regular reviews for long-term prescriptions. Our system requires 48 hours processing time for collection or 5 days for postal requests. We collaborate with local pharmacies for medication delivery services.
Online Appointments
Our digital booking system enables patients to schedule appointments through multiple online platforms including eConsult, RapidHealth, and PATCHS. This service provides 24/7 access to request consultations, with responses guaranteed by the next working day. Online systems also support administrative requests and new patient registration.
Home Visits
Home visit services are available for housebound patients or those too ill to visit the practice. Requests require detailed information for triage assessment. Visits are prioritised based on clinical need, with urgent cases attended by the on-call doctor. We recommend calling before 10:00AM for same-day home visit consideration.
Medication Reviews
Annual medication reviews ensure safe and effective treatment for patients on long-term prescriptions. These consultations assess medication efficacy, side effects, and dosage requirements. Reviews are conducted by doctors, nurse practitioners, or practice nurses to optimise patient treatment plans and prevent adverse drug interactions.
