TRIAGE
*Please be advised that Boots, Shadforth, and Day Lewis are the only pharmacies locally commissioned under the Pharmacy First scheme*
ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT AN EMERGENCY SERVICE, THE DOCTOR MAY REQUEST THAT YOU ATTEND AN APPOINTMENT TODAY.
PLEASE INDICATE ON YOUR FORM IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND SHOULD THE DOCTOR MAKE THIS REQUEST.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE GP RELIES STRICTLY ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE FORM, SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE SPECIFIC—OTHERWISE THE DOCTOR CAN ONLY TRIAGE BASED ON WHAT IS WRITTEN. IT NEEDS TO BE CLEAR WHAT YOU ARE REQUESTING OR NEEDING. PLEASE PROVIDE AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE FOR EACH QUESTION TO HELP THE GP TRIAGE EFFECTIVELY.
PLEASE KEEP YOUR PHONE WITH YOU IN CASE THE GP OR SURGERY NEEDS TO CONTACT YOU BY TEXT OR PHONE CALL, OR HAS ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS.
***Please note: Depending on demand, it may take up to 24 business hours for your request to be reviewed.
If you submit your triage form after 5:30 PM, it may not be reviewed until the next working day. If you believe you need to be seen before the surgery closes, please call reception after submitting your form to ensure they are aware.
