I have made a request and haven’t heard anything back – have I been missed?
No. All requests remain on the askmyGP system until actively closed by a member of the practice staff. You will be informed when this happens. Requests are triaged by the clinicians on an ongoing basis. If they judge that your request can be dealt with at a later time, more urgent requests will be dealt with first. We aim to deal with all requests as quickly as possible, however during busy periods those patients with more medically urgent needs will take priority.
