Please note that the doors are locked to the general public and only patients who have booked appointments will be allowed in the surgery during these times.

Care navigation enables improved access to primary care.

If patients are seen by the appropriate clinician or service this will reduce pressure on GPs, allowing them to see the patients that they need to see the most.

Effective navigation is a key element of delivering coordinated, person-centred care and support. Right care, right place, right time.

After consultations with a doctor and before Auto check in please.
