What’s changing?

From Monday 15th June, 2026 the practice is introducing a new way of booking appointments called “Total Triage.”

This is designed to make it easier and fairer for everyone to get help when they need it.

You can contact the practice anytime online Monday – Friday between 8am – 6.30pm.

**Please note to use this service, patients must be registered as permanent/temporary patients within Robert Street Surgery.**

🩺 Why is this happening?

There are more patients needing care than there are appointments available. This is due to:

  • People living longer with more complex health needs
  • More care being done by GPs instead of hospitals
  • Fewer doctors available, especially in rural areas

 

👉 Because of this, the practice needs a better way to prioritise patients and use appointments effectively.

🖥️ What is “Total Triage”?

Instead of booking appointments straight away:

  1. You tell the practice about your problem first – usually by filling in a simple online form
  2. The practice reviews your request
  3. They decide the best way to help you
  4. You can contact the surgery Monday – Friday between 8am -6:30pm.

👉 Not everyone will need a GP appointment.

📋 What happens after I submit a request?

  • Admin queries → handled by admin staff
  • Prescription queries → handled by prescribing team
  • Medical problems → reviewed by a GP

You will then:

  • Get advice, OR
  • Be asked to book an appointment, OR
  • Be contacted directly if urgent

You can also track your request online.

🚑 What if my problem is urgent?

  • Urgent cases are identified quickly and prioritised
