Making sure you get the right help
If you telephone or visit us, our reception team will ask you for some more information about the health issue that you need help with.
We will use the information you give us to decide:
- Whether there is another service such as a community pharmacy or urgent care centre that is better placed to help you.
- Who is the best person to help you. This might be a doctor, nurse or another healthcare professional. Find out more about practice team here.
- How quickly you need to be seen - whether this is today, tomorrow or in a few days or weeks’ time.
- What type of appointment you need. Find out more about the appointments we offer.
Sometimes the receptionist might take your details and phone number and arrange for you to have a call back from a GP or another healthcare professional who will make an initial assessment of your needs and decide how best to help you. Based on the information you give them they might give you advice over the phone or book you into an appointment.
