Using Well if you're a patient of Dr Foster or Dr Harris
You will not be able to book appointments with Dr Foster or Dr Harris via Well while they're on leave, so please call reception on 04 472 4266 if you would like to schedule an appointment with them for some time after their return.
Please call reception if you would like to book with a locum while your doctor is away. Dr Foster and Dr Harris' locums are not set up to be booked with via Well.
Dr Foster and Dr Harris' messaging inboxes will be turned off on Well while they're on leave. Their locums do not have messaging inboxes on Well so you will need to call our nurse line or book a GP or Nurse Practitioner appointment for any clinical queries.
You can still send prescription requests via Well as usual but please expect delays. Dr Foster and Dr Harris' locums will review these. Please call reception if your prescription request is urgent.
*Getting an appointment when your GP has no cover
Unfortunately we have not been able to secure locum cover for Dr Foster and Dr Harris respectively on all the days they're away for.
If you need to be seen and your GP's locum is unavailable, you can try booking with Dr Roger Jubert (our permanent locum) or with Jasper Nacilla (our Nurse Practitioner). Please call reception to book in.
Please be aware that due to lack of locum cover, all of our practitioners (including our Nurse Practitioner) will have limited availability. We apologise for any inconvenience. Our receptionists will be able to give you advice on where to seek care if we are unable to fit you in and your concern is urgent.
