Important: Changes to our Online Consultation Service

Our practice will soon be introducing a new online consultation form to help patients contact the practice more easily.
From Tuesday 30th June 2026, patients will be able to submit online requests using a new form. We will stop using the current EConsult and move to AccuRx, which will allow you to:

• Contact the practice online for medical or administrative queries
• Submit requests without needing to call the practice 
• Receive updates and messages securely
  

What do patients need to do?

You will be able to access the new system via our practice website.
If you currently use the My GP App, please note that this will no longer provide access to online consultations. We recommend using the NHS App or visiting our website and we will send you the new link to download the App via text message.
Further information will be available on our website shortly
Thank you for your support as we improve our digital services.

Antibiotics Awareness for Our Patients

Antibiotics are essential medicines for treating bacterial infections, but they do not work against viruses such as colds, flu, most coughs, sore throats, and sinus infections. Taking antibiotics when they are not needed can lead to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), where bacteria change and become harder to treat. This is a growing problem in the UK and worldwide, meaning some infections may no longer respond to antibiotics in the future. You can help keep antibiotics working by not requesting them for viral illnesses, never saving antibiotics for later use, and always taking them exactly as prescribed by your GP, or pharmacist. By using antibiotics responsibly, we can protect your health and ensure these vital medicines remain effective for future generations.

How you can help

Here are 3 simple but powerful actions: 

1. Don't take antibiotics for colds and flu - they won't help because these illnesses are caused by viruses, not bacteria. If in doubt, go to your local pharmacy for advice.
2. Never save antibiotics for later use - they won’t work properly and could make the problem worse.
3. When prescribed antibiotics, take them exactly as directed by your GP, nurse or pharmacist, to make sure they are effective
