We are now using Total Triage to book our appointments, our form is now open from 7am to 3.30pm.

Benefits of using our online Total Triage Form:

  • Skip the queues! 
  • Don't have to get up at 8am to ring for an appointment
  • Put as much information down as possible to ensure correct triaging
  • Easy to use

Negatives of using our online Total Triage Form:

  • There simply is none!

 

You will receieve a response from our Triage Nurse within a maximum of 72 hours, however the usual turn around time is much less than this.

Please note if you request a specific clinician there may be a longer wait, our receptionists will let you know of this and offer another clinician if you are unable to wait.

If you are experiencing chest pain, breathing difficulties or vomiting blood please contact 999 or visit your local A&E.

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)

Coronary heart disease affects around 2.3 million people in the UK and is the most common cause of premature death. You can make some simple lifestyle changes to help reduce your risk of CHD such as eating a healthy, balanced diet, increasing physical activity and stopping smoking.
 
If you’re 40–75 years old and concerned about your heart health, why not book your free NHS health check to assess your risk of CHD and help reduce your risk. https://www.bhf.org.uk/.../taking-control-of-your-weight
