Please ensure you book appointments with the right clinician
If you are booking an appointment online for minor illness please do not book with a GP there are options to book with our urgent care practitioners .Your appointment may be moved or cancelled if it is booked inappropriately . When booking an online appointment please add the reason for your appointment to avoid you having to rebook .
When you call for an appointment your call will be transferred to our Care Navigators on reception. At the G.P's request, they will ask for the reason you need to see a clinician today - this is so we can direct your appointment efficiently to the right clinician. We do understand that there may be times when you wish this information to remain confidential. Please do inform the care navigators if that is the case and they will enter the reason as personal .
We would like to assure you that our care navigators handle this information sensitively and use booking templates on the clinical system so the information which can be seen is sensitively recorded.
