NHS 111 Online

Our team at Three Chequers Medical Practice, like so many other healthcare providers at present, is currently facing significant demand.

We are doing our utmost to continue to provide the best service for all our patients with patient and staff safety being our top priority. Our phone lines are extremely busy, and our receptionists are doing the best they can – please be kind.

Please use your surgery considerately – appointments can be made face-to-face, over the phone or online. You may also wish to consider other options including seeking advice from your local pharmacy or visiting www.111.nhs.uk

The NHS 111 online service is an easy and convenient way to get urgent help for a wide range of health problems. It can assess and direct people to the most appropriate local service, including urgent treatment centres, GP practices, and consultations with a pharmacist. And, if needed, it can arrange a call back from a nurse, doctor or paramedic. It could even save you a trip to A&E, as it is estimated that up to two-fifths of A&E attendances are avoidable or could be better treated elsewhere.

We would ask all patients to please be patient with us as we work through these challenging times. We are grateful for your ongoing support.
