eConsult is the most widely used online consultation platform used in the NHS. eConsult can be accessed from your own NHS GP practice website. eConsult collects the information about your request and sends it to the GP practice. The GP practice staff will then triage (sort) each patient so that everyone gets the right care as quickly and as safely as possible.
Contact our nurses or GPs using eConsult between 8.00am and 6.30pm, Monday to Friday
- Once the daily capacity for eConsults has been reached, they will be switched off until 8.00 am the next day.
- Please do check your Junk Mail folder just in case our response is directed there.
- Please do not use the eConsult system for urgent matters as we may not respond to your eConsult the same day it is submitted.

Two Factor Authentication
Effective May 2024 EMIS Patient Access have introduced a new multi-factor authentication (MFA) log-in process for Patient Access.
You will be required to input a one-time-passcode (OTP) from an authenticator application to log-in to your account. You can find more information on the Patient Access website here.
You can choose an authenticator application for mobile or desktop devices, and there are several free options to choose from. Some suggestions here.
You can also choose biometrics (Face ID or Touch ID) to log-in.
If you do not have a mobile phone:
EMIS Patient Access are making changes so that you do not need to add a mobile phone number to your Patient Access account. You can then choose to use a desktop authenticator to complete the MFA log-in.
If you have any questions or for more information, go directly to the EMIS Patient Access support pages here or go to the EMIS Patient Access Support Desk.
