This service for all non urgent appointments and you will be asked to to undertake a symptom assessment through PATCHS
The symptom assessment will ask you a number of questions to help to identify your problem.
The outcome of your assessment will direct you to the right treatment, whether emergency care, your GP, nurse or self-care.
If your outcome indicates that you need a f-2-f appointment with your GP practice you will be contacted directly by the Practice.
Once the request has been submitted, you will then be contacted by the Practice Team, to arrange an appointment within the identified timeframe (as outlined in the outcome of your symptom checker).
The information you provide will be shared with our clinical team (where appropriate) and will assist in providing robust information of your problem to the required clinical team member prior to your appointment.
New repeat prescription e-mail if you have not signed up to on-line services via System1
