During office hours, the practice aims to review and respond by phone, text or email. Administrative help may take up to 3 working days.
Nurse appointments
The FAQ says nurse access is planned eventually, but for now patients should telephone the surgery to make a nurse appointment.
Repeat prescriptions
eConsult is not for routine repeat prescriptions. Use the normal prescription route such as the NHS App.
Home visit

Only enter medical details through official NHS, practice or eConsult links. Avoid unofficial forms or copied phone numbers.
Repeat Prescriptions: Best Route and What to Avoid
The official prescription page highlights the NHS App as a route for repeat prescription ordering. The eConsult FAQ says eConsult is not for routine repeat prescriptions, so do not use an online consultation for regular medication requests.
| Prescription need | Official detail | Practical action |
|---|---|---|
| Regular repeat medicine | The prescriptions page promotes ordering repeat prescriptions through the NHS App. | Use NHS App first where available. |
| eConsult and repeats | eConsult says routine repeat prescriptions should be requested in the normal way. | Do not submit a GP consultation just to order regular repeats. |
| New problem medicine | eConsult may result in a prescription if the GP approves treatment based on the online consultation. | Use eConsult only for suitable new or recurring problems, not routine repeats. |
| Local pharmacy collection | eConsult says prescriptions may be sent electronically to a chosen pharmacy if arranged with the practice. | Keep your nominated pharmacy up to date. |
| Before holidays | Working-day processing and pharmacy delays may affect timing. | Order early before weekends, training days and bank holidays. |

Sick/Fit Notes: When GP Evidence Is Usually Needed
The official sick/fit-note page explains that if you are sick for more than 7 days, your employer can ask for medical evidence to support Statutory Sick Pay. A fit note is strong evidence, but it is still up to the employer to decide whether you are incapable of work.
| Situation | Guidance | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Off sick 7 days or less | Self-certification is usually used. | Ask your employer for their self-certification process. |
| Off sick more than 7 days | Employer can ask for medical evidence. | Use the official sick/fit-note route. |
| Employer asks early | Employers may make their own evidence decisions. | Check whether a private letter or certificate is needed and whether charges apply. |
| Hospital care | Hospital clinicians may need to provide evidence if they are treating the problem. | Ask the hospital team if your absence is linked to hospital treatment. |
