The Aberfeldy Practice is making changes to the way you can book a GP appointment. We know many of our patients value being able to book a same-day GP telephone appointment. However, due to changes to our contract imposed by the Government, it is no longer feasible to continue operating with the same system.
From the 1st of May 2026, all GP appointments will need to be requested using the online consultation form on our website. Many of our patients are already using this method to contact us and find it very easy to use. Please note that there are no changes to how you book an appointment with a Nurse or a Health Care Assistant.
To submit a short online form, please visit: https://accurx.nhs.uk/patient-initiated/f84698
Please watch the short video by Dr Manil Malawana explaining the reason for changing our appointment system.
Patients who are unable to use this system will still be able to walk in or call the practice, but their requests will be submitted through the same system. Our reception team is available to assist you in person or over the phone.
All requests will be reviewed by a GP within 1 working day. Urgent problems will be dealt with on the day, and non-urgent queries will be responded to with a plan by the next working day.
Please note that if the practice has reached its daily capacity, you will be signposted to another appropriate service, such as a Pharmacy, NHS 111 or in an emergency A&E.
We appreciate your support and understanding as we make this transition.
