Did you know…?
We are participating in a new approach to improve access for patients to GP appointments. The aim is to direct patients to the most appropriate healthcare professional, which may be a GP or a pharmacist. From 28/3/22, if your symptoms could be resolved by a booked consultation with the pharmacist instead of the GP you will be given a same-day referral to a pharmacy of your choice. Your local pharmacist is a highly trained and skilled clinical expert who is extremely likely to be able to manage your health concern.
This will also help us to free up GP appointments for people with more complex health needs and ensure that everyone gets treated at the right time, by the right healthcare professional.
We are keen to hear what you think and will be listening to your comments and feedback about your experience of using this service.’
