Many health problems DO NOT need a Doctor or Nurse. It is important that patients use their GP and A&E services appropriately. There is a lot of useful information at www.nhsinform.co.uk. Efficient signposting can ensure that patients receive appropriate care by directing them to the correct point of service.
All our Receptionists have been trained by our Clinical Team to ask appropriate questions when booking your appointment to enable patients to be directed to the most appropriate Clinician.
