How to request an appointment at Charlotte Keel Medical Practice
The official appointments page says patients can use Patient Triage to request appointments or submit medical/admin queries online. The team reviews the request, prioritises care and contacts you with next steps or an appointment where appropriate. You can also call 0117 902 7145 or visit the surgery if online access is difficult.
Use 999 for life-threatening symptoms. Use NHS 111 when the surgery is closed and the problem is urgent but not life-threatening.
Submit a short medical or admin query. Include when it started, what changed, what you tried and what you are worried about.
The official page says Health Navigators assess urgent needs and arrange a suitable appointment.
The official page says non-urgent issues may be scheduled up to four weeks ahead.
Many issues can be handled by phone, especially follow-up or advice questions.

Hello, my name is [name]. My date of birth is [date of birth]. I am a patient at Charlotte Keel Medical Practice. I need help because [one clear sentence]. I cannot use Patient Triage / I need advice today / I need a routine appointment. What is the safest next step?
Before you submit Patient Triage or call: practical checklist
This checklist helps Health Navigators and clinicians route your request correctly. It is useful for older patients, carers, parents, people taking several medicines, new patients and anyone who gets nervous explaining symptoms.
I have had [symptom] for [time]. It is [getting worse / not improving / affecting sleep / affecting work]. I have tried [medicine or self-care]. I take [regular medicines]. I am worried because [reason]. I would like advice on whether I need [GP / nurse / telephone consultation / prescription / test / referral / pharmacy help].
Patient Triage: what happens after you submit a request?
Patient Triage is not only a booking form. It is a way to tell the surgery what you need so the team can prioritise and choose the right service. Depending on your issue, you may receive self-care advice, pharmacy signposting, a telephone consultation, a face-to-face appointment, an admin response, a prescription query response, or advice to use another urgent service.
Medical request
Use this for symptoms, flare-ups, medication side effects, ongoing problems, test-result worries and clinical follow-up questions.
Admin request
Use this for letters, forms, fit notes, contact-detail changes, record questions, referral questions or other admin help.
Urgent but not 999
Write why you need help today. Include worsening symptoms, vulnerable patient details, pregnancy, child age or serious medical history where relevant.
Watch for replies
Keep your phone nearby, check messages and answer unknown calls after submitting. Missed contact can delay care.

NHS website login
You can use the NHS website for some of the same prescription and record functions as the NHS App.
Patient Access
Patient Access may be used for appointment management and other GP online services where enabled.
Medical record access
For wider medical record access, the surgery may need identity checks and clinical review before enabling access safely.
Helpful NHS App video for prescriptions and online access
This NHS App video is useful if you want to understand how the NHS App can help with NHS services such as prescriptions and records. Always follow Charlotte Keel Medical Practice’s own instructions for Patient Triage, appointments and repeat prescriptions.
Charlotte Keel Medical Practice repeat prescriptions
The official prescriptions page says you can request repeat prescriptions using the NHS App or NHS website, in writing by visiting reception, or by posting the tear-off slip from your last prescription. The page also provides an online repeat prescription request form and explains that prescriptions are sent electronically to your nominated pharmacy.
NHS App
Use the NHS App to order repeat medication where available and choose your preferred pharmacy.
NHS website
Use NHS login on the NHS website if you prefer using a browser instead of the mobile app.
Practice online form
Use the official Charlotte Keel repeat prescription form if you cannot use the NHS App route.
Written request
Visit reception or post the tear-off slip from the right-hand side of your previous prescription.
Electronic Prescription Service
EPS sends your prescription directly to your chosen pharmacy, reducing the need to collect paper prescriptions.
Pharmacy collection
Ask your local pharmacy whether they can order and collect repeat prescriptions for you.
| Prescription issue | What it usually means | Practical next step |
|---|---|---|
| Medicine not showing online | It may be acute, too early, blocked for review, newly changed, or not on repeat. | Use the prescription form or Patient Triage and include medicine name, strength and reason. |
| Pharmacy says nothing is ready | The request may still be processing, sent elsewhere, or waiting for review. | Check NHS App, nominated pharmacy and official prescription route. |
| Need medicine urgently | Routine repeat routes may be too slow if you have run out. | Ask a pharmacy or NHS 111 about emergency supply routes if clinically appropriate. |
| Hospital changed medication | The GP may need hospital information before issuing repeats. | Contact the surgery before your hospital supply runs out. |
| Prescription cost worries | You may qualify for exemption, low-income help or a prepayment certificate. | Use NHS prescription-cost guidance before paying repeatedly. |
Pharmacy, EPS, nominated pharmacy and minor illness help
The official prescriptions page explains that your nominated pharmacy is the pharmacy that prepares your prescription for collection. Pharmacists can also help with minor illnesses like coughs, colds, tummy problems and aches and pains. Use pharmacy advice for minor illness before requesting a GP appointment where suitable.
| Need | Best route | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Nominated pharmacy | Choose or update your pharmacy through NHS App or NHS website. | It helps your prescription go to the right place. |
| Electronic Prescription Service | Ask reception or use NHS online services to nominate a pharmacy. | No need to collect a paper prescription from the surgery. |
| Minor illness advice | Ask a pharmacist for suitable over-the-counter help. | Often quicker than waiting for a GP appointment. |
| Pharmacy opening hours | Use NHS Find a Pharmacy. | Pharmacy opening times are not the same as surgery opening hours. |
Test results, blood tests and confidentiality
The official test-results page says the fastest way to access results is online via the NHS App. You can also use the NHS website or Patient Access. The page says you can call the practice after 2pm for results, and if you have not received results within the expected timeframe you can call after 11am. Reception staff are not qualified to interpret or comment on test results.
GP-ordered tests and hospital-ordered tests may have different follow-up routes.
The official page says online access is the fastest way to access results.
The official page says call after 2pm for results, and after 11am if expected results have not arrived.
Results are given to the person they relate to unless permission or special circumstances apply.
If symptoms get worse while waiting, use GP, NHS 111 or 999 based on urgency.
Sick notes, fit notes and work letters
The official fit-note page says you can request a GP fit note online. A clinician will review the request and either issue a fit note or arrange an appointment, depending on your condition and whether you have recently been in hospital. If you have been off sick for less than seven days, your employer should not usually ask for a GP fit note.
Seven days or less
Your employer should usually use self-certification, not a GP fit note.
More than seven days
Use the online fit-note request route and give clear sickness dates.
Recent hospital care
If hospital treated you, the clinician may need hospital information before issuing paperwork.
Do not use emergency routes
Emergency appointments are for urgent medical problems, not paperwork-only requests.
Hospital referrals, NHS e-Referral and private specialist letters
The official referrals page says you can check your referral using the online form. If referred through the NHS e-Referral service, you can book, view, reschedule or cancel your first appointment at NHS referrals. Further appointments for an existing referral usually need to be managed with the healthcare provider. You may need a GP referral letter if you want to see a private specialist or consultant.
Ask if GP referral is needed
Some services need GP referral, while some can be self-referred. Check before booking a GP appointment only for a referral.
Use NHS e-Referral
For first NHS referral appointments, use NHS App, NHS website or the official e-Referral instructions.
Hospital accepted referral?
Once the hospital has taken over, changes may need the hospital booking team.
Private specialist letter
If you want to see a private specialist, the official page says you will need a GP referral letter.
Home visits: when to request one
The official appointments page says home visits are for patients who cannot attend the surgery due to medical reasons. It asks patients to request a visit by calling before 10am and to provide details to help the practice prioritise the visit.
| Situation | Likely route | Important note |
|---|---|---|
| Cannot attend for medical reasons | Request a home visit before 10am | Explain exactly why the patient cannot safely attend. |
| Would be harmed if moved | Ask for clinical triage | A clinician decides the safest care route. |
| Transport difficulty only | Usually arrange transport or attend practice | This alone may not justify a GP home visit. |
| Emergency symptoms | Call 999 | Do not wait for a GP home visit. |

The official registration page says Charlotte Keel Medical Practice is welcoming new patients and registration can be done online. It also says you do not need ID, proof of address, immigration status or an NHS number to register.

Read recent reviews carefully

Friends and Family Test
Use the official feedback routes if you want to share a recent patient experience.
Email address, online contact and safe message route
Patients often search for “Charlotte Keel Medical Practice email”, but for most health questions the safer route is Patient Triage, the official appointment page, the prescription form, the test-result route, or the feedback form. Ordinary email should not be used for urgent symptoms unless the surgery specifically asks you to use it.
| Need | Best route | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Urgent symptoms | Phone, Patient Triage, NHS 111 or 999 depending on severity | Email may not be read quickly enough. |
| Non-urgent medical/admin request | Patient Triage or official online query route | It connects the request to the right workflow. |
| Prescription request | NHS App, NHS website, official prescription form or written request | Medication requests need the correct record route. |
| Test results | NHS App, NHS website, Patient Access, or phone after the advised time | Results require identity-safe access. |
| Complaint or feedback | Official feedback and complaints form | Complaints need clear details and proper handling. |
Complaints, feedback and formal concerns
The official feedback page says feedback helps the practice review and improve services. It offers an online feedback form and also says patients can contact the surgery directly or complete a comment card at the practice. If something has gone wrong, write a clear timeline before contacting the practice.
Include date, time, staff role if known, what happened, what harm or concern exists, and what outcome you want.
Many concerns can be resolved directly if the practice receives clear information.
Medical information cannot usually be discussed with another person without permission.
If local resolution does not work, use the appropriate NHS complaints route or Ombudsman guidance.
