AskmyGP - the easy and fast way to ask for any kind of help from the Practice
If you would like a GP's consultation then you should access Ask-My-Gp via our website. It is easy and simple to use and gets your request to your prefered Doctor with the information they need to give you the assistance you need. Patients who do not have either an email address, or an app-capable mobile phone, may continue to ring reception who will complete the online form on their behalf. The fastest and best way to ask for GP advice is to use the Ask-My-Gp request form.
As a result of the introduction of Ask-My-Gp, the 10-12 am Dispensing line will no longer be available. Patients who use the service should make arrangements to use Patient access, the NHS App on their mobile phones or the ordering page on our dispensing webpage. We have an externally-facing email address somccg.pmp.prescriptions@nhs.net so repeat requests can be emailed into the dispensary. Patients who do not have an email address, or a app-capable mobile phone, or who do not hand in paper requests, should speak to the Dispensary to find out other options.
Guidance note for patients requesting exemption letters
We are aware that some patients might be understandably anxious about the Government’s recent announcements around the use of face masks in various public settings including shops. There are certain groups of people who are exempt from this requirement and they include:
• children under the age of 11
• people with disabilities
• those with breathing difficulties or
• those who are travelling with someone who relies on lip reading.
GPs are unfortunately not in a position to provide individual risk assessments or letters for patients who feel that they should be exempt from wearing a face mask. The current government guidance on exemptions suggests there is no requirement for evidence for exemption therefore it is sufficient for an individual to self-declare this.
