What is important for me to know as a patient when booking an appointment?

GIVE THE CORRECT CONTACT DETAILS TO THE PATIENT ADVISORY TEAM 

KEEP YOUR PHONE ON YOU ON THE DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT AS WE CANNOT GUARANTEE A TIME OF YOUR CALL 

Routine Appointments (Please call after 2pm or book online)

During the current COVID pandemic appointments can be made routinely up to 2 weeks in advance. Appointments are initially by telephone and may involve photos or video consultation and if the clinician feels that a physical assessment is required then this will be arranged within a COVID secure environment. If you feel your problem is more urgent please book an on the day appointment.

We have remained open since the start of the pandemic and do remain open to provide the best care possible whilst ensuring we keep all our patients safe.

48 Hour release Appointments (Please call from 8am or book online)

These are for patients who do not require an emergency on the day appointment but feel it cannot wait for a routine consultation.

On the Day Appointments (Please call from 8am or book online)

The remaining appointments are kept free for booking the same day and these can be booked from 8.00am via telephone and also via online booking. We will try very hard to accommodate you in your first phone call. Consultations may be carried out by the most appropriate member of the practice team.

**An appointment time will be offered when booking but during the pandemic telephone calls are being prioritised in order of clinical urgency. PLEASE keep your phone on you on the day of your appointment**

Extended Hours Appointments (18.30-20.00)

These are available Monday to Thursdays and can be booked 3 weeks in advance. We also on occasions provide Extended Access appointments on Saturdays and Sundays. Please do ask our staff regarding these.

Online consultations (Non urgent)

You can submit an online consultation using the following link: https://www.online-consult.co.uk/org/watford-health-centre.

This will be reviewed by a clinician with a response within 2 working days. A clinician will decide the appropriate management having reviewed the history. Please do not use this for anything urgent.
