HOW DO I...
MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?

Telephone - 0113 253 7628/9

The Partnership wishes to encourage continuity of care as best practice and feels your long term medical needs are best served by seeing the same GP. You will appreciate that this is not ALWAYS possible but every effort is made to comply with patients needs within the constraints of the appointment system. The receptionists are here to help you and may offer you a choice of options:

Tell the receptionist:

your name the doctor you want to see (if you have a preference) your preferred appointment time.

Early morning and late afternoon appointments are always very popular.

CANCELLING APPOINTMENTS - 0113 253 7628/253 7629

If you cannot come for a booked appointment PLEASE telephone the surgery to cancel it.
Over 100 patients miss appointments every month. If you telephone early, your appointment can be offered to someone else. We appreciate your call and so will another patient.

Booked Appointment (10 min)
Offers a choice of time and GP. It is a consultation to discuss your long term or new medical problems. We encourage continuity of care with your usual GP.

Advanced Access Clinic
This Clinic is available Monday to Friday mornings and offers a shorter appointment for medical symptoms that may need treatment or reassurance on a one-off basis.
It is NOT for review of long-term/ongoing medical problems.

Telephone Advice
If you feel your medical problem could be dealt with over the telephone, the doctors/practice nurses are happy to call you. Please give the receptionist an appropriate telephone number.

Urgent Appointments
PLEASE ONLY REQUEST AN URGENT APPOINTMENT IF IT REALLY IS MEDICALLY NECESSARY.
