‼️ Important Patient Information ‼️

As of 1st October 2025, Hirsel Medical Centre will be using 'eConsult' as the main contact method for patients, instead of the traditional telephone route, to help reduce the early morning demand. It is available during practice opening hours, Monday to Friday, and offers an online questionnaire which you complete, to be looked at by the practice team. Your problem will be triaged and you will be told the best course of action to direct you to the most appropriate service - for example, an appointment or telephone call with a GP or Practice Nurse, an onward referral, booking in with another service or member of the practice team, or a text message reply back with further information.

For more information or to submit an econsult follow the link below:

Thank you,

Did you know most pharmacies can offer advice on a range of illnesses and provide treatment or prescription medicine for some conditions – without you seeing a GP?

Meet Damisola, a Community Pharmacist of 12 years, who works in a local pharmacy.

‘Some of my daily responsibilities include checking medicines are safe and correct for patients, as well as providing advice and treatment options for minor conditions such as coughs, sore throats, and sinusitis.’

This World Pharmacists Day, we're thanking Damisola, and all pharmacy teams across the country for your hard work caring for our communities and helping us stay well. 💙
