Medication Reviews
We no longer book GP appointments for medication reviews, if your medication needs to be reviewed the GP will check your notes and advise the reception team if they need to see you or not.
This system has released a lot of GP appointments and enabled us to arrange tests prior to seeing the GP where necessary.
