Wootton Vale & Shortstown

Delivering traditional standards of GP care through innovation

We are moving to a Total Triage System for all appointments from 7th July 2025

From 7th July 2025, Wootton & Shortstown Surgery will be changing the way we offer all appointments. In line with national guidance, we will be moving to an online system where our Clinicians will triage appointment requests, ensuring that you are seen by the most appropriate clinician in a timely manner. This help make better use of the appointments we have available.

Routine GP appointments

We will be asking patients to complete an online Patient Triage form for all routine GP appointments, which will be found on our website at http://www.woottonvale.co.uk

We will then contact you with either advice or an appointment where appropriate.

You can get help from a Clinician by submitting an online form yourself or asking a family member to do so on your behalf. You can use this form to contact us about anything you would normally call us about.

If you are unable to complete the online form, our reception team will be able to complete on your behalf, before it is looked at by our triage clinician.

We have attached some instructions to help you navigate through the system
