What is Anima?
Anima seamlessly and confidentially integrates with your medical record bringing improvements to how you access care and appointments and how our staff assess your condition. While you are still able to call the surgery, the online triage form through Anima will ask you the same questions, streamlining the process. This is another option for our patients to use to contact us about a medical problem, admin request or ask a simple question.
This practice accepts online consultation requests and queries during opening hours (8:00am to 6:30pm).
To ensure safe and effective care for our patients, we may limit the number of urgent online consultation requests we accept each day. Once this limit is reached, we will continue to accept non-urgent/routine requests during opening hours.
Patients registered at the practice now need to use this form to submit requests for most medical and administrative problems and enquiries, including requests for a GP appointment.
