Improving Patient Access - New system from Wednesday 15th April
We are pleased to advise that we are improving the way patients can communicate with the practice to ensure you receive the right care by the right professional at the right time.
Following the new GP Contract updates that took place back in October 2025, the practice has had to make some changes to the way in which we manage patient access. With effect from Wednesday 15th April 2026, we will be moving towards a triage approach to assessing enquiries and appointment requests as they come into Practice.
We are introducing an online form to contact the practice. Medical requests will be assessed clinically, and you will receive a response the same day.
The online form is available below by clicking on 'Contact Us Online'.
If you are unable to access the internet or complete the form, please ring 01538 399008 or call into the surgery where the receptionist will be able to help you.
For further information the Patient Participation Group will be available in the waiting room from the 23rd March to 27th March 2026 (9am-12pm & 2pm-5pm).
Thank you for your patience and understanding with the practice whilst we move to a Total Triage system.
