eConsult FAQs

What is eConsult?
It is an new way to request medical care and fit notes at a time convenient to you. You can complete an eConsult form anytime and there is no need to be waiting on the telephone on hold to arrange an appointment, and the surgery will get back to you within a stated timeframe. It enables you to provide key information about your condition before your appointment which is really helpful to doctors and nurses. Also improves telephone access for vulnerable patients who can’t use online services by decreasing phone call waiting times.
Where can I get help in using eConsult?
The form will provide you with instructions on how to complete it as you fill it in, and you can also watch this tutorial on YouTube for more information – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1-LQI1f0TI
Is it easy to use eConsult?
Yes – it is as straightforward as using online shopping, banking or social media.
Does eConsult mean I won’t see my GP?
If you need to have a GP consultation, you will still have one with your GP (or another clinician at the practice if necessary). All eConsults submitted relating to a health issue will be looked at by a clinician, who will decide next course of action. If you need a consultation with a GP, you’ll have one (it could be in person, over the phone or through a video consultation). Admin requests e.g. fit note requests may be looked at by a member of the admin team, freeing up the doctors’ time.
What can I do if I can't find my condition on the list?
If you can’t find your condition on the form list, please use the general advise template to submit your medical query
What if I have an emergency?

Then eConsult will direct you to call either, 999 NHS 111, Urgent Care Centre or the Practice

I don’t have access to the internet, can I still call my practice

Can I go to a Pharmacy to ask about medications they sell or do I have to use eConsult
