You can book appointments online, saving you time on the phone. If you feel you need to contact a doctor the same day but your problem could be dealt with over the phone, we have a daily Triage list. Speak to a receptionist before 9am and your name will be added to the list and a GP will phone you back to discuss the problem. This should not be used for problems that need to be dealt with face to face where the GP may need to examine you.

To help us with this, we have a patient representation group so that you can have your say. We ask the members of this representative group some questions from time to time, such as what you think about our opening times or the quality of the care or service you received. We will contact you via email and keep our surveys succinct so it shouldn't take too much of your time. The information you supply us will be used lawfully, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

You can register the death if you are a relative, a witness to the death, a hospital administrator or the person making the arrangements with the funeral directors. You can use the 'Register a Death' page on the gov.uk website that will guide you through the process. This will also explain the registration process for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some local councils run their own funeral services, for example for non-religious burials.
