Important: How to make an appointment is changing
From January 2026 in line with government NHS changes, the Ongar Health Centre is moving over to total triage for GP appointment requests.
You will request an appointment using our website, or via speaking to a receptionist, this request will go in to a clinician to be triaged. Appointments will be given on clinical need. There will be no more morning and afternoon release for appointments.
We will be changing our GP online consultation provider to Anima
You can still call in to make an appointment with a nurse, HCA and clinical pharmacist in the usual method.
You will be able to do this on this website.
