Telephone Consultations & Messages
Each Doctor now offers telephone consultations at the end of their morning surgery.
If you feel a telephone call may be suitable to address your enquiry
then you can arrange a telephone consultation with a doctor. Phone
the surgery as if you were going to make a normal appointment and
ask for a telephone appointment. You will be asked to leave a
contact number and given a time when a Doctor will call you back. The
doctor will try to call you back as close to that time as possible.
Telephone consultations can be used for matters such as:
- Follow-up discussions or advice relating to previously seen or existing conditions.
- Medication reviews where the existing prescriptions are straightforward.
- Discussion of test results.
- Discussions re the suitability of, or reactions to medication.
- Discussions of an administrative nature such as Choice of provider or clinical procedure.
- Instances where the doctor or nurse has suggested a telephone call as being suitable
