High Demand on Mondays | Information for Patients

December, 2023

Dear Patients,

Demand for appointments continues to increase and Mondays are consistently our busiest day. Our GP triage system aims to prioritise patients who are unable to wait for a routine appointment by offering a review or response to your issue by a GP on the same day.

You can help us by only calling on a Monday if you feel your concern is clinically urgent and can’t safely wait until later in the week. We would request that all appointment and visit requests on a Monday be made prior to midday in order for us to safely plan this work. After midday we can only offer review of clinically urgent problems.

You can also help by remembering to cancel any appointments that are no longer needed so they can be offered to other patients.

Thank you.
