You will offered a triage telephone call with a doctor or a clinician or if deemed appropriate a referral with be made to The NHS Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (CPCS).
This was launched by NHS England in 2019, to facilitate patients having a same day appointment with their community pharmacist for minor illness or an urgent supply of a regular medicine, improving access to services and providing more convenient treatment closer to patients’ homes.
The service is helping to alleviate pressure on GP appointments and emergency departments, in addition to harnessing the skills and medicines knowledge of pharmacists.
If the doctor does wish to see you for a face to face appointment they will book the appointment during the telephone consultation.
Although you will be registered with one GP you are able to speak any GP in the practice. If you have been seeing a GP for a particular problem or a long standing medical condition it may be advisable to continue seeing the same GP. We always try and place you with the doctor of your choice but that may not be possible.
Please note all doctors and locums have full access to your medical record.
Call recordings
Please be advised if you book a telephone consultation with a clinician calls are now recorded for training and monitoring purposes. If you do not wish for the call to be recorded please advise the receptionist when booking the appointment or advise the clinician at the beginning of the call.
