Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?

The Doctors

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.

Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care. Find out more

We hope you are all staying safe and dry today. We know that many in our community have had a difficult few days. Some of us are still dealing with the after-effects, whether it’s clearing debris, managing without power, or just catching our breath after a bit of an ordeal.

📸 If you’re up for it and in a position to do so, we’d love for you to share any photos or videos of the storm at your place 📸

Whether it’s a shot of the wild weather in action, the aftermath in your garden, or even how you stayed cozy and occupied during the peak of it.

Our thoughts are with those who are still working through repairs or facing challenges today. If you need a hand with any clean-up or local information, don't hesitate to share this below.

Good morning – this is a check-in following a wet and windy night, and ahead of a wet and windy day to come.
