Need help urgently?

Online services are for routine, non-urgent requests. If you need medical help now, use NHS 111 online or call 111. In an emergency, call 999.

Contact us online with Anima

Anima is our online consultation service (see Contact us online for more information). Use it to send us a medical or admin request without waiting in a phone queue. Every request is read by our team and prioritised by clinical need, so you get the right help from the right person.

Use Anima for

  • new or ongoing symptoms
  • questions about a long-term condition
  • fit notes and letters
  • questions about test results
  • updating your details

Do not use Anima for

  • emergencies or urgent problems – call 999 or use NHS 111
  • repeat prescriptions – see Prescriptions
  • chasing a request you have already sent

If you can’t get online
