Cottesmore: Total Triage - New contact Number for sick parade

To improve access to the sick parade/same day appointments the Med Centre will be running Total Triage from Monday 4 December 2023.
There will be a dedicated telephone number for Total Triage which will be covered from 0800-10.00hrs Monday to Friday.
Patients will also have the option to text in for sick parade/urgent appointments. They can text in at any time but the texts will only be read between 0800-1000hrs and the appropriate clinician will then call the patient back for triage.
The main telephone number remains the same and will be for routine enquiries.

Children, young people and families can have access to a wide range of information, advice and support as a new online platform goes live this week.
