A new online system has been introduced  which makes contacting  your Doctor a little easier.

It is called eConsult but before you visit there.

The website for all NHS services is here :-  https://www.nhs.uk/                      find-a-GP 

Here is a link to the online version of the NHS App 

It then says We may need to send you a security code on your mobile phone, 

so you can log in.

The eConsult website is here:-                           https://econsult.net/nhs-patients

What is eConsult?

eConsult is a clever bit of software that allows you to quickly and safely get help and advice from your own doctors and GP practice online, for free, from anywhere.  eConsult is a form-based online consultation platform that collects your medical or administrative request and sends it through to your GP practice to triage and decide on the right care for you and everyone else.  Stay home, stay safe, but don’t ignore your healthcare. Submit an eConsultation so your doctors can help you.

The above is the blurb from eConsult but you need to do some work before you use eConsult !

1. You will need the name of your GP surgery, easy you may think but eConsult must have the correct name.   Please use this link to find-a-GP  and key in your postcode.    Or use the list of the Island's  surgeries on the next pull down.

2. I can’t waste NHS time trying eConsult for myself  but I understand you may need to enter your Name, Address, DoB and NHS / NI number.

Here is a link to a YouTube video about eConsult :-
