Write one main problem
Say what the problem is, when it started, what has changed, medicines/allergies, and whether you are available for a call back.
Let the practice route it
The practice uses your details to choose whether a GP, nurse or another healthcare professional is most suitable.
Use urgent care when needed
Do not use SystmConnect for emergency symptoms. Use 999 or NHS 111 depending on urgency.
