Your Doctor can see you for longer times this winter

The NHS is reminding people that there are plenty of new ways to access their doctors this winter.

Many doctors surgeries across Devon offer their patients the choice of online appointment. This saves travelling and waiting time.

If your able to have an online appointment this will save you having to see your doctor.

For many patients the face to face appointments with a doctor are the best way to get advice and treatment. Contacting  services through telephone or online options are much more better for a lot of people.

As doctors consider the options they want to introduce in the future, they are working with patient groups to see what works better for their practice and patients.

Evening and Weekend doctors appointments available in Devon.

Doctors can see people in evenings, weekends and Bank Holidays

Patients can contact their doctors when they need to make an appointment

Patients might not be able to see their usual doctor in the evening, weekend or Bank Holiday. The doctor they see can refer the patient for further treatment if needed.

Good access to doctors services is very important.

Making extra appointments available means patients can see a doctor or nurse at a time that suits then more.
