Attend Anywhere – Video Consultations
Due to the current Coronovirus crisis, we are changing the way in which we deliver services in order to protect patients and staff.
The practice is open but all appointments will be by telephone initially with follow up a video or face-to-face appointments arranged if necessary.
When you are indicated to do so, you can attend your consultation online via a video consultation.
Video calling is as convenient as a phone call, with the added value of face-to-face communication. It can save you time and money and brings your care closer to home.
