📲 Understanding Our Anima Triage System – How It Helps You

To help us manage the high demand for GP appointments safely and fairly, our surgery uses the Anima online triage system for all medical requests.

🔹 Patients submit their concern through a short online form
🔹 The information is reviewed by a GP or trained clinician
🔹 You will then be contacted with one of the following:
• Medical advice
• A telephone or face-to-face appointment
• A referral or prescription where appropriate

This system allows us to:
✅ Prioritise urgent and serious conditions
✅ Ensure patients see the most appropriate clinician
✅ Reduce waiting times where possible
✅ Use appointments more efficiently

💬 If you are unable to use online services, our reception team can support you with submitting a request.

🚨 For emergencies or urgent symptoms such as chest pain, severe breathlessness or collapse, please call 999 or attend A&E — Anima is not for emergencies.

⚠️ Important Notice – Scaffolding on Site ⚠️

Please be advised that scaffolding will be erected at the surgery on Sunday to allow for essential repair work to take place.

While the scaffolding is in place, we kindly ask patients to avoid parking close to the scaffolding area until the repair work has been fully completed, for everyone’s safety.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding 😊
We’ll keep you updated once the work is finished.
