Coronavirus has changed the way GP surgeries around the UK work. Here at Barnsbury, we continue to work hard to keep our patients as safe as possible, along with our staff and our community.
Patient access continues to be by invitation only, following a prior telephone assessment. If the assessing clinician feels it is clinically necessary to see you, they will invite you in for a face-to-face appointment. The quickest way to book a telephone assessment is via our online appointments booking service.
Online appointments
Our online appointments booking service is called econsult, which helps us to provide you with the most appropriate appointment. Follow the link below to complete the process and then phone us or we will contact you to arrange an appropriate appointment. If you don’t have an a smartphone or online access you are welcome to continue with the telephone. You will always be offered a GP appointment if needed.
