How does Online Consult work?
Simply fill in a health enquiry form by clicking on this link https://www.online-consult.co.uk/org/moorland-medical-centre outlining your symptoms. You’ll then be directed to information articles and videos advising you on how to treat your symptoms and what you may need to do next. The forms are quick and easy to use and tailored to give you help and advice that’s specific to your condition.
The forms are sent directly and securely to the practice so we can check your answers and advise you on the most appropriate next step, you may need a face-to-face appointment with the GP or Nurse Practitioner or be signposted to another service by the Care Navigator.

How to see all the information in your GP health record
When you view your GP health record online, you should be able to see any information that was added recently, this is prospective access to your medical record.
If you need to see older information in your record (historic record information), you'll have to ask your GP surgery to make it available online.
Contact your GP surgery if:
- you're unable to see your record
- information is missing or has disappeared from your record
- you can only see very recent information in your record and you need to see older information
- there's incorrect information in your record
- you can see information that should not be there (for example, you can see information that's not yours)
- you do not want to be able to see your record
- someone is pressuring you for information in your record
Email or call the surgery, or speak to a receptionist at the surgery when you go for your next appointment.
