Firth Park Surgery would like to invite you to join DoctorLink.
We have been looking at how we can improve access to Practice services; DoctorLink is our new online service where you can:
- Access advice
- Book appointments online
- Request Fit/Sick Notes
Sign-up is simple and you can create an account here
https://app.doctorlink.com/firthparksurgery/register
For all urgent appointment, we ask that you undertake a symptom assessment through DoctorLink.
The symptom assessment will ask you a number of questions to help to identify your problem.
The outcome of your assessment will direct you to the right treatment, whether emergency care, your GP, nurse or self-care.
If your outcome indicates that an appointment is required at your GP Practice, you simply click on the “book an appointment” button and book your appointment directly.
If no appointments are available, you will see a “request an appointment” button, please click this.
Once the request has been submitted, you will then be contacted by the Practice Team, to arrange an appointment within the identified timeframe (as outlined in the outcome of your symptom checker).
The information you provide will be shared with our clinical team (where appropriate) and will assist in providing robust information of your problem to the required clinical team member prior to your appointment.
if you are experiencing any technical issues please contact by emailing support@doctorlink.com or visit the doctorlink website https://www.doctorlink.com/
Face Masks
It was announced that from July 24th 2020 everyone is required to wear a face covering when entering a shop or business.
This is in addition to wearing one on Public Transport which has been mandatory for some time now.
If you feel you are unable to wear a mask for auditory/sensory/breathing reasons, please visit https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/face-coverings-when-to-wear-one-and-how-to-make-your-own and download an exemption card for you to show if asked why you are not wearing one.
Please note, it is NOT the responsibility or the role of the Surgery to issue anyone with an exemption letter or certificate. Please visit the website above for more information.

CORONAVIRUS COVID-19: UPDATE
If you are attending the surgery for an appointment please can we ask that you wear a face covering. It can be something as simple as a scarf and doesn’t necessarily need to be a face mask.
Face coverings however should not be used by children under the age of 2 or those who may find it difficult to manage them correctly
Please avoid coming to the surgery wherever possible.
We will screen all patients and visitors with our intercom system.
Most appointments will now be over the phone or online. We are now doing video consultations via your smartphone.
