You can still use econsult at 8am, alternatively phone the surgery for an appointment. You will be asked the reason for the appointment and days and times convenient to come in. All requests will be assessed by a GP and if required investigations, blood tests or imaging or onward referral may be arranged prior to an appointment with the doctor. We also have other clinicians who may be more appropriate for your problem, first contact physio, mental health practitioner, or pharmacist. Appointment can be booked up to 12 weeks in advance.
Due to increased demand for appointments and the ongoing covid situation we are operating what is known as total triage system. This is to ensure the safety of you our patients, our staff, GPs and Nurses. Your GP or nurse will review your problem and will then, depending on your needs
-
offer you advice via text

Please only attend the surgery if we ask you to. It’s important that you arrive at the time we ask you to attend and don’t forget to wear a face covering or mask. We are very sorry but we are unable to provide face coverings for patients. We also ask that you use the hand sanitiser before entering the building.
The surgery doors are open however, we must limit the number of patients in the waiting room to four at Lakeside for the safety of all our patients especially the most vulnerable.
