Contact the surgery online for advice on medical problems, admin query or request a repeat prescription

You can now request an appointment and tell us about a medical problem, raise an admin query, or request a prescription online by clicking on these  links https://request.mygp.com/axr or using the NHSapp, or Patient access app.

First time users will need to register to use the apps. For more info see below

Your request will be treated in the same way and within the same timescales it would be if you were to ring or visit the practice but now you no longer need to wait in the phone queue or leave the comfort of your home.

We would encourage those able to access these online tools to do so then we can keep our phonelines free for those who cannot use online tools and need to phone.

The online booking system for Face to Face , telephone and video consultations  is available via myGP app or Patient Access

Online booking of appointments are now triaged to ensure that you are booked in with the most appropriate healthcare professional for your problem.  This can be a member of our clinical / nursing team or can be a healthcare professional external to the practice i.e. one of our community pharmacists.

Please provide as much information as possible in the reason for your appointment.

We have also developed a nursing strategy for patients who receive check-ups for their chronic disease to ensure that their care is still delivered.

We hope that you find the new telephone system is an improvement and if there are more than 10 patients in the telephone queue at any one time you will be offered a call back, you do not lose your position in the queue.
