Need medical care urgently?
Even though we try our best, we cannot always see everyone. We only have a limited amount of appointments each day.
In these instances, the NHS always has numerous options available to you.
- NHS 111 can offer assistance and medical help 24/7 and possibly an appointment to see a Clinician if needed
- 999 is for any Emergency: if unsure call 999 as you will be assessed appropriately
Travel Vaccinations
What you need to know
You can get travel vaccinations from your GP but also from your local pharmacy.
The quickest way to get vaccinated is via your pharmacist as GP surgeries need to order in stock and we require at least 3 months notice.
Some vaccinations are free and some you have to pay for regardless of who gives you the vaccination. Find out more here

Getting Your Test Results
There are different ways to get your test results but we always tell you about any abnormal results either through SMS or telephone call or by letter. We also will tell you about normal tests like samples and radiology investigations. We like to keep you in the loop as soon as we know so make sure we have an up to date mobile number on your records.
Alternatively, you can access results through your online access but these can sometimes be confusing without medical knowledge so we do not always recommend. If you do want access, please email us.
