Do you really need an appointment?

We are currently seeing a high demand from patients in relation to coughs, colds and sore throats. In many cases these can be treated without seeing a GP.

Before approaching the GP surgery we are asking all our patients to consider the following: -

Have I looked online for help (nhs.uk)?
Could my local pharmacist (chemist) help me?
