What Do You Need from St Peter’s Street Medical Practice Today?

Test results
View results in the NHS App, submit an eConsult to discuss with a GP, or phone to check whether results are back.

New patient registration

Closed or urgent?
Use iHUB for evening/weekend same-day urgent GP care when available, NHS 111 when unsure, and 999 for emergencies.
