Out GP practice is using eConsult!

eConsult allows patients to submit requests to their practice 24/7 from anywhere they have an internet connection. Rather than booking an appointment, the patient sends their request or symptoms and the GP practice will review and make sure every patient gets the right care. This might save you a trip into the practice.

There are three ways to access and submit an eConsult:

- Through the eConsult icon on the practice’s website, on any device
- Download and use the NHS App on your phone or tablet
- Through the eConsult GP finder on the website https://econsult.net/nhs-patients

From there, all you have to do is complete a quick online questionnaire which is sent to your practice. Using this, your GP can check your eConsult and advise you on the best next steps.

You can also search for trusted NHS self-help advice, complete administrative requests and give your GP updates about long-term conditions through eConsult.

You can find out more about eConsult and watch a video on how it all works here: https://econsult.net/nhs-patients

Contact your own NHS GP practice online for free for medical or administrative requests. Use our GP finder to start your online consultaiton.
