Welcome to John Tasker House & Felsted Surgeries

With patients' needs at the heart of everything we do, our website has been designed to make it easy for you to gain instant access to the information you need. As well as specific practice details such as opening hours and how to register, you’ll find a wealth of useful pages covering a wide range of health issues along with links to other relevant medical organisations.

Doctorlink

At the practice, we have been looking at how we can improve access to practice services and we are pleased to introduce Doctorlink, our new online service where you can access advice and appointments on line. We are part of a small group of GP Surgeries in West Essex trialing this service.

Doctorlink

Doctorlink is a free online triage and advice tool which helps our patients see the right member of the practice team in an appropriate time-frame based on your clinical need. At the end of the symptom assessment, you can directly book an appointment to suit your needs and/or receive advice relating to what you should do next. We have listened to our patients’ feedback about appointment availability and with this new system, patients will be able to save time by reducing unnecessary bookings and calls which in turn will make our services more efficient.

To use Doctorlink, you will first need to register online either via this website or by downloading the app on your mobile device via Google Play or the App Store. Registration is simple and takes around 2-3 minutes. You must be at least 16 years old to register but there is a facility to use the symptom checker on behalf of your child (age 3-15) or for people within your care who are registered at the same practice.

The usual methods of contacting the practice are still in place for those patients who may not be able to use a computer or do not have access to one.

For any further questions on how to use Doctorlink or any queries you have about the service, we do have a FAQ which can be accessed here or alternatively, please contact the practice where a member of staff will be happy to help.

Get Well, Keep Well

Of course we’re not just here for when you are unwell. Our team of healthcare professionals and back-up staff offer a number of clinics and services to promote good health and wellbeing whatever your medical condition.
