Why are you changing the appointment system?
Our intention is that we will try and deal with your problem on the same day you contact us about it.
We may also signpost you to other services such as websites, local pharmacies or community organisations where appropriate.

How do book a follow-up appointment
- Either your GP will book this in directly from clinic, or send you a self-booking link
OR
