Use for chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing difficulty, collapse, heavy bleeding, seizure not stopping, severe allergic reaction, overdose, serious injury or someone not responding.
Use GP appointment route
Use for ongoing symptoms, urgent same-day problems, long-term condition concerns, referrals, test-result follow-up, medication reviews and problems that need a clinician assessment.
Use practice nurse route
The practice says nurses are qualified to deal with many conditions and patients may be seen more quickly. Ask reception if nurse, HCA or GP is best.
Use Pharmacy First
Local pharmacies can advise on common conditions such as cough, cold, earache, sore throat, hay fever, thrush, teething, head lice, athlete’s foot and sprains/strains.
Use online services
Useful for online appointment booking, repeat prescriptions and medical record/test result access where enabled. Ask reception if you need access set up.
