Non-urgent advice: Total Triage

In response to the evolving needs of our community and the modern-day pressures faced by the NHS, our GP Practice has now completely transitioned to a total triage model. This approach has enabled us to handle an unprecedented increase in patient enquiries, managing 250% more each day. By streamlining the triage process, we’ve significantly reduced hold times on our phone lines, offering a smoother, more efficient experience for our patients.

We offer annual health checks to all our carers. We also hold monthly Carers Cafes, across both sites which we fondly invite all carers to attend if they wish too. This is a chance to meet other carers for an informal chat, over a coffee and a slice of cake.
