Online Consultation https://www.cliftonmedicalpractice.co.uk/

If you need URGENT help please call the practice.

For NON-URGENT medical or administrative help, you can contact us using our online consultation tool. This service allows you to tell us about your symptoms, ask questions, or request advice without needing to phone or attend the surgery.

If you have a MEDICAL EMERGENCY or need help OUTSIDE OF PRACTICE HOURS, please contact NHS 111 or 999 as appropriate.

Your request will be reviewed by our clinical or administrative team. Submissions are reviewed during our normal working hours, and we will provide a response once your request has been assessed. Response times can differ depending on the nature of your enquiry and overall demand.
