DoctorLink - A doctor in your pocket

We have a clever, free self-care tool and we are very excited to share it with you. It's called DoctorLink. The tool asks you for your symptoms and makes a diagnosis. It will then offer self-care advice, or if needed, book you an appointment. The tool is available to access 24/7 online or via an apple or android smart phone - bringing the clinician to your pocket whenever you need them. How good is that?

DoctorLink is an established clinical tool with over 15 years of real life experience behind it. We would suggest that you use it to decide if you need an appointment. Because if you do, it will book you one!

Safe Surgeries 

​At Pioneer we understand that everyone in the UK is entitled to register and consult with a GP.  Access to health care can be especially difficult for vulnerable groups in our population.  Migrants, including refugees, asylum seekers and survivors of trafficking sometimes experience barriers to accessing care.

With this in mind we are proud to announce that we have joined the Safe Surgeries community set up by Doctors of the World. ​Our priority being to ensure we provide a welcoming environment for everyone in our community and an equitable service for all of our patients.

Nurse Appointments

​Due to temporary reduced capacity in the nursing team and the summer holiday period, in the short term, we may need to defer some routine review appointments with our nurses to ensure priority is given to those with more urgent care needs. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Please bear with us and thank you for your understanding.
