Anima is an online consultation tool that helps GPs/ANPs manage patient requests and queries through digital triage. Anima makes it easier for patients to talk to their doctor and help GPs to prioritise and deliver care through message, phone and also video.

Anima is open 07:45 – 09:00 Monday – Friday, for all GP and Advanced Nurse Practitioner requests, to avoid the initial 8 am rush. The phone lines and practice opening time remain the same at 8am
After 09:00
After 09:00 when Anima has closed and you feel that you need a same day urgent appointment, then please contact the surgery and one of the team will assist.
Can I submit anything when it’s closed after 09:00?
Anima remains open for the following 24/7:
Sick Note requests, Medication requests, Practice Nurse appointment requests only, change of details, cancelling appointments. These will be dealt with during normal working hours 08:00 to 18:30 Monday to Friday.
What if I do not have access to Anima?
We are still asking patients to submit requests via Anima and we will continue to assist all patients who do not have access via the telephone.
Any response from the Practice will be sent via email or SMS and will show on your Anima account also. You may also see a care plan from the clincian or advice and guidance.
