Changes to our online access from October 2025 - increasing access to routine care

From 1 October 2025, we will keeping Dr.iQ, powered by Evergreen, open between 8am and 6.30pm for routine requests. This will allow patients to make non-urgent requests, submit medication queries, and raise administrative requests.

If you have a routine (non-urgent) request, you can submit your request online using the Dr.iQ app, powered by Evergreen. Simply select the option: “I need help, but it’s not urgent.”

You can read more about this here.
