On 07.09.2021 Belmont Health Centre will be changing phone systems to a more convenient and easy to use service.

This new system will bring positive changes to the reception queuing system, and make using the phone system easier for all.

The usual options for prescriptions, results, and referrals, will remain the same when calling the main surgery number.

Please note all calls will be recorded for training and monitoring purposes.

Please bear with the team while we implement this new system.

Please note the easiest and fastest way to submit requests for appointments, sick notes, medication, etc. is via the online service Klinik https://access.klinik.co.uk/contact/belmont-health-centre
