eConsult service
As part of our efforts to improve access to our services we have launched eConsult - an online GP service.

From Monday 12th May the following services will become available on our online eConsult platform and you may be asked to access them.
- Clinical requests and GP/Physio appointment requests.
- Continuation of an already agreed sick-line.
- Medication reviews including for Depression or HRT
- Submission of home blood pressure readings
- GDPR requests (information from patient records or requests for GP letters etc)
- Requests for chasing up hospital referrals
