|---|---|---|---|
| Phone: 0121 778 4321 | Booking routine appointments, same-day triage requests, access support and home-visit requests. | Name, date of birth, phone number, symptom, duration, medication, urgency and availability. | Do not wait on GP reception if symptoms are life-threatening. Call 999. |
