Econsult is an online consultation method that allows GP practices to get a better understanding of your problem and your needs. We can then work with you to decide the best way forward.

Please note you can currently only submit an eConsult during our opening hours for safety reasons (Mon- Fri 8am- 6.30 pm ) 

For those who don't have IT skills or equipment you can still call the practice in the usual way

If you want a traditional face-to-face appointment please state that in the eConsult and we will always try to accommodate your wish provided this is medically necessary.

It is possible your prescription request has been declined for one of the following reasons. We will tell you which of the following reasons it is

•  1.  You haven't given us a minimum of 48 hrs / 2 practice working days notice that you are running out. if this is the case please request an emergency supply via NHS111

•  2 . Your Private Dr , Hospital Consultant , Specialist Nurse or other Health Care Professional has asked us to prescribe an item without first prescribing it themselves. The item(s) may be unlicensed or not considered appropriate for GP prescribing by Pan Mersey Area Prescribing Committee . Similarly it is within your GP's rights to refuse to prescribe an item that they feel is inappropriate.  Please remember the prescribing GP is medico-legally responsible for that medication (and not the Clinician/Dr who 'advised' this ) 

•  3 .  The item you have requested is not an agreed repeat medication with your GP

•  4.  You haven't responded to our request to have a medication review with a Clinician

•   5.  Your Hospital Consultant or Health Care Professional has asked your GP to prescribe an item but a) hasn't notified us in writing or  b) has notified us,  but your request is within 14 days of being discharged from hospital 

•  6.  You have requested medication that is a controlled drug , strong painkiller or has addictive potential outside of an agreed prescribing regime with your GP
