Our Appointment Procedure
Please wear a face covering if you have a respiratory illness. Measures are in place to keep you safe from infection during your visit to the surgery.
Self Care Advice
You can often sort your own health issues without needing to see us
The NHS website, Patient.co.uk and the Health & Care Video Library are three excellent websites you can use free of charge.
They have powerful search functions so you can find what you need quickly.
Speak to a Pharmacist
Your pharmacy can advise you on minor illness without the need of an appointment. Please speak to a pharmacist first.
Pharmacy & Self-Care
Pharmacists are qualified healthcare professionals who can offer clinical advice, over the counter medicines and their use, to effectively and safely manage a range of minor health concerns. They can also help you to decide whether you'll need to see a doctor. You don't need an appointment and you won't even be asked to make a purchase. Every pharmacy also has a private consultation area for you to talk about your symptoms in private if you prefer.
Book an Appointment
You can book an appointment to see the GP or the nurse

How to Cancel an Appointment
If you are unable to keep your appointment, please give us as much notice as possible so that your appointment can be offered to someone else.
If you are cancelling please telephone us on 0121 444 2054 as soon as possible, and at least 30 minutes before your appointment time. This will enable us to offer your appointment to someone else.
Alternatively you can cancel your appointment online using Patient Access or The NHS App if you are signed up to the service.
Please remember that there may be a shortage of appointments and when you fail to attend you have prevented someone else from being seen in your place. On average about 230 appointments are missed each month
Cancellations notified less than 30 minutes before the appointment time will be recorded as failure to attend (DNA).
Repeated failure to attend booked appointments is a significant waste of NHS resources

How to get Proxy access
Proxy access for another adult is usually given based on them requesting it themselves, or understanding and agreeing to it.
Setting up Proxy access
In most cases you will need to contact the GP surgery of the person who wants help, to ask for Proxy access.
The GP surgery will make sure the person giving access understands and agrees to it, where needed.
You may both have to fill in a form and prove who you are using photo ID.
The GP surgery will then decide what access, if any, is appropriate, and make the changes in their clinical systems to set it up.
