We are now using a quicker and safer way for you to arrange appointments and to contact the surgery for any reason.

Whether you are requesting an urgent same day appointment, a routine appointment, or have admin requirements, the quickest and easiest way to make your request is by completing an eConsult, an online form, via this website.

This will ensure that your appointment request will be triaged by a doctor quickly and safely in order to give you the most appropriate next steps.

Don’t worry if you are not technically able to complete the form yourself, you will still be able to speak with our Reception Team who will be able to take you through the eConsult on the phone. However, if you are able to complete the eConsult yourself via this website, will be the quickest and easiest way for you to request all appointments and admin needs.

So why are we trialling the eConsult system?

Demand for appointments continues to increase and eConsult is a way to help us to provide you with the care you need in a safe and appropriate timeframe.

eConsult will allow us to triage requests more quickly and efficiently to ensure that you are reviewed by the most appropriate person.

Also using eConsult will mean that you don't have to wait in long telephone queues when contacting the Practice.

Please be aware we are experiencing a very high volume of calls. Where possible please avoid calling at peak times which are normally between at 8:00am and 10:00am every morning. 

If you are calling regarding a routine matter that doesn't require medical attention on the day (blood tests results, booking routine appointments like GP follow up appointments or annual reviews), please call us after 2pm. If you require medical attention on that day, please wait to speak to Reception.

This way you can help us to direct you to the right person and get medical attention when you need it. Thank you for your understanding during these unprecedented times.

You may call in to any of our 3 surgeries in person during opening hours (8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday) where a member of our friendly Reception Team will be happy to help you.

Our practice nurses are available by appointment to offer advice regarding foreign travel and vaccinations where appropriate. Please do plan ahead, we recommend booking the appointment at least 8 weeks prior to travel. When booking your appointment, the receptionist will send you a link to a pre travel assessment form that we would ask you complete as soon as possible. For those that do not have a mobile phone the receptionist will ask you some questions regarding your travel plans.

If you need your vaccination records, patients registered at Chevin Medical Practice can access these through online patient access or call into the Practice to request a printed copy.

The only free travel vaccinations included by the NHS (i.e. the only vaccines we administer) are below (dependent on both appointment and vaccine availability – please allow at least 6 weeks before your intended trip):

• Polio, Diphtheria and Tetanus booster (3 in 1 vaccine) – 10 years protection

• Hepatitis A – 25 years protection after 2 doses

• Typhoid fever – 3 years protection

• Cholera (only if considered high risk)

These vaccines are free because they protect against diseases thought to represent the greatest risk to public health if they were brought into the country. If you are planning a trip abroad and think you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel, please use the website Travel Health Pro (www.travelhealthpro.org.uk) to determine what vaccinations you are required / advised to have and Fit for Travel (www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk) for up-to-date travel advice for your destination. This will include which countries and areas within countries you are visiting.

If you have any further queries, please speak to a member of the Reception Team.
