Using our website when abroad

Our website blocks patients from submitting consults or contact forms whilst abroad. This is because if someone asks a medical question and we respond we are not indemnified, i.e. we are providing care or information without insurance. This is the case for all patients registered with a GP Practice in England. It is not unique to Avon Valley Practice.
