SystmOnline
The practice offers a number of services. In addition to day to day booking of GP appointments we offer nurse-led assessment of minor illness and various clinics including chronic disease management. Our receptionists will be happy to help you decide if a nurse appointment would be appropriate.
GP Telephone Consultations
Do you need to see a GP face to face or do you feel that the matter could be dealt with via a telephone discussion?
We have now introduced GP consultations whereby patients, wishing to take advantage of this service, will be given a estimated time at which the GP will telephone them.
It will be possible for patients to pre-book a telephone consultation up to 14 days in advance via our online service. GP Consultations will be held Monday to Friday.
To pre book an appointment please use our online facility. We can not currently arrange pre bookable appointments over the phone.
