From June 2023 we have started to use a telephone triage system called Anima, patients can access Anima on their phone, PC or tablet - this is known as an online consultation. many of the things that you contact the practice for by phone or in person, can be done by Anima. Benefits include - easier access - it should only take a couple of minutes to fill out your information. Your request will be seen by the right person in the practice and your request will be responded to by the right person in the practice. You can also send your online request anytime during surgery hours, this will allow the phone lines to be freed up for the most poorly patients.

Please be reassured that you can still telephone us or come into the practice and our team will fill fill in a form on your behalf.

Not at all - completing the form online is just a preliminary way of collecting information to ensure that you are seen by the right person, at the right time, first time. You may still be contacted by a GP or it could be another person from the practice who can better meet your needs.

Even if you visit the surgery in person or contact us by phone the receptionists will not be able to book a routine GP appointment. They will assist you to complete the online form if you need help.

We suggest once you receive notification from us that you are registered you set up an Anima account, To set up an account please click here.
