Use Accurx online form

Write clearly: what is wrong, when it started, what you have tried and what you are worried about.
Call Patient Support

Use the NHS App
The NHS App can help with repeat prescriptions, GP record access, messages, and some online services where enabled. It is useful if you prefer managing NHS tasks from your phone.
Ask for the right appointment type
Appointments may be by phone or face to face. If your problem is complicated, or you have more than one issue, ask whether a longer appointment is possible.
Hello, my name is [your name]. My date of birth is [your date of birth]. I am a patient at Queenswood Medical Practice. I need help because [say the problem in one sentence]. Can you tell me the best way to request an appointment?

Use NHS Find a GP or contact the surgery. Ask: “I live at this postcode. Can I register with Queenswood Medical Practice?”

You may need your full name, date of birth, current address, phone number, email, previous GP, NHS number if known and basic health information.
ID and proof of address can help. NHS guidance says you should not be refused GP registration only because you do not have ID, proof of address, immigration status, or an NHS number.
If you take repeat medicine, tell Queenswood and your pharmacy when you register. This helps reduce the risk of running out while records transfer.
What to bring to your GP appointment
Bringing the right things can save a second call or second visit. This is especially useful for new patients, carers, older patients and people taking several medicines.

Many patients search for GP test results after a blood test, urine test, swab, X-ray, hospital letter or referral. The safest route is to follow the instruction given when your test was arranged.
Ask when results are expected
Before leaving your appointment, ask when the result should be back and how you will hear. Some results take longer than others.
Check the NHS App if available
Some patients can see parts of their GP record or test information through the NHS App. Availability depends on your account and practice settings.
Contact the practice if worried
If symptoms are worse, or you have not heard when you expected to, call the surgery or use the online route and ask what the next step is.
Do not ignore symptoms
Do not assume “no news” always means everything is fine. If you feel worse, use the right urgent service.
Sick notes, fit notes and work letters
A fit note is the note many employers ask for when you are off work because of illness. You may not need a GP fit note for the first few days of sickness because self-certification may apply.
Ask whether they need a self-certification form or a GP fit note.
If you need a fit note, use the online form if available or call Patient Support and explain the date your illness started.
Say when you became unwell, whether you are still off work and whether you have already spoken to a doctor or nurse.
If you were treated in hospital, ask the hospital team whether they should provide a note or discharge letter.
