We are now LIVE

The Clinician Led Assessment Service is for all patient requests. This means every request is reviewed first by our clinical team, allowing us to prioritise based on clinical need and guide patients to the most appropriate healthcare professional or service.

All requests (medical or administrative) will need to be submitted via a form available on the website or the NHS App. We’ll review your request on the same day and aim to respond within 24 hours.

We will prioritise requests based on urgency.

If you have a clinical concern which you feel is 'urgent on-the-day,' kindly submit your online request before 10:00 and please be prepared to attend the surgery at short notice on that day.

However, we request all queries to be submitted before 16:00, so they can be safely managed in a timely and safe way.

If you can't complete a form online, you can still call the surgery and submit your request with the receptionist. Once details are captured over the phone, these requests are logged and handled in the same way, ensuring greater equity of access.

Visit www.highviewsurgery.co.uk for more information.

Young Carers Offer - now delivered by Hertfordshire County Council

From 1 April 2026, Hertfordshire County Council is proud to be delivering young carers support in-house, bringing this vital service fully within council provision as the contract with Carers in Hertfordshire came to an end.

This change strengthens our commitment to young carers by embedding support directly into council services, helping us work even more closely with children, families and partners across Hertfordshire.

Support for adult carers will continue to be delivered by Carers in Hertfordshire, with no change to that service.

A new Young Carers webpage has been developed in collaboration with young carers and their families and includes information about the support available, team contact details, and ‘a Day in the Life of’ form to register a young carer online so that they can get the support they need.

Hertfordshire County Council has contacted all registered young carers directly to welcome them, provide updated contact information, details on how to access support, and a link to the new webpage.

A Young Carers webinar is scheduled for Thursday 23rd April, 11:30am-12:30pm, offering partner professionals a briefing on the new model, the tools available, and the steps involved in the registration process.
