What Does This Mean For Us?

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ’s Has the current surgery the necessary space/capacity to accommodate more doctors? In your estimation what impact would the merge have on the time allocated for an appointment? Will this mean we will still have access to our GP of choice, or more access ?

FAQ’s I see this as a positive move as I presume this will increase skill mix of all the GP's? I understand you are retaining both buildings, is this the case, and how do you see that working?

FAQ’s Will we still be able to ring the practice & get an urgent appointment on the same day if necessary? Will be still be able to make an online appointment for routine matters several weeks ahead? Will we be able to stay with our nominated doctor?

FAQ’s Will you still be offering walk-in emergency clinics? Will you still be offering travel clinics?
