I need help today
If symptoms are severe or life-threatening, call 999. If urgent but not life-threatening and the practice is closed, use NHS 111. During opening hours, submit the online form if available or call if you cannot use online access.

How to request an appointment at Edenbridge Medical Practice
The official appointments page says patients no longer need to telephone to book an appointment with a clinician. Patients should complete a simple online form via the website for a short medical or administrative query to be reviewed by the GP triage team. The clinical form is available from 8am to 4pm Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays, but may be switched off if the practice reaches safe working capacity.
Use 999 for chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing trouble, collapse, heavy bleeding or serious allergic reaction.
Submit a short medical or admin query using the practice website. Use plain wording and explain the main problem first.
The practice says clinical submissions may be switched off when safe capacity is reached. If the problem cannot wait, use phone, NHS 111 or 999 depending on severity.
The official page says you can pop into the surgery and a receptionist can complete and submit a medical or admin query on your behalf. If you cannot get to the surgery, phone instead.
After triage review, a member of the booking team will contact you about the appointment or next step.

Hello, my name is [name]. My date of birth is [date of birth]. I am a patient at Edenbridge Medical Practice. I need help because [one clear sentence]. I cannot use the online form / the form is switched off / I need advice today. What is the safest next step?
Accurx online form: what to write so triage can help you
When people search “Edenbridge Medical Practice Accurx”, they usually need the online request form. Accurx is not just an appointment booking box. It helps the practice triage the request and decide whether you need a GP, nurse, pharmacist, admin reply, appointment, prescription query or different NHS service.

Use it for non-emergency symptoms, follow-up questions, medication issues, long-term condition questions and concerns needing GP triage.
Use for admin queries

Keep phone nearby
After submitting the form, keep your phone nearby and check messages. Missing the callback can delay care.
Before you submit a form or call: practical checklist

Patient Access, NHS App and online prescription login

Use the official Patient Access link for online services and repeat prescription requests where enabled.
Two-factor authentication
If login changed, check Patient Access help for authenticator app setup. The practice says it cannot help with Patient Access security changes.
NHS App

Proxy access
If helping someone else, ask the surgery about proxy access and bring the required identification.

It says the practice needs 4 working days to process repeat prescription requests and will not accept requests by telephone for patient safety. A recent alert also says medication can be ordered by email, admin Accurx form, NHS App or Patient Access app.

Admin Accurx form
Use the admin form for prescription requests where the practice directs you to do so.
Dispensary email

Dispensary opening hours, medication queries and pharmacy collection
The official prescriptions page says the dispensary is open Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 6pm, with closure for lunch from 1pm to 2pm. It also says the dispensary team can help with medication queries and can send medication to your chosen pharmacy or dispense medication if you are a dispensing patient.
| Need | Official/practical detail | Best step |
|---|---|---|
| Dispensary collection | Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 6pm; closed 1pm to 2pm. | Do not arrive during the lunch closure if collecting medicine. |

| Pharmacy stock issue | Stock may be outside GP control. | Ask your pharmacy first and then contact the practice if a prescription change is needed. |
Test results, blood tests and hospital results
For test results, the safest first question is: who ordered the test? GP-ordered tests and hospital-ordered tests often have different follow-up routes. If a hospital specialist ordered the test, the hospital clinic is usually the best place to chase the result or appointment.
GP-ordered tests and hospital-ordered tests usually have different follow-up routes.
If you attend for a test, ask when results are expected and whether you should check online, wait for contact or call.
Some results may be visible online depending on account access and GP record settings.
If symptoms are getting worse, use the GP form, phone, NHS 111 or 999 based on urgency.
The practice notes that hospitals are obliged to respond to hospital care queries once referred.
Sick notes, fit notes and work letters
Patients usually search for sick notes when an employer asks for evidence. In the UK, many employers accept self-certification for the first 7 days of sickness. If you need a GP fit note after that, use the practice’s admin or appointment route and give clear dates.
7 days or less
You usually self-certify. Ask your employer whether they need their own form or the SC2 form.
More than 7 days
You may need a GP fit note. Use the online admin/medical route and give exact dates.
Hospital treatment
If hospital treated you, ask the hospital team whether they should issue evidence or a discharge note.
Do not use emergency slots
Fit-note admin is not usually an emergency. Use the correct practice route unless symptoms are urgent.
Referrals, Choose & Book and hospital appointment chasing
The official appointment page explains that if a GP refers you to hospital, you should receive acknowledgement and confirmation from the practice secretaries that a referral has been made. Once the hospital makes an appointment, the hospital will confirm directly. In some cases, patients may be asked to book through Choose & Book.
Ask if GP referral is needed
Some services need GP referral; some allow self-referral. Use the practice self-referral section where appropriate.
Watch for acknowledgement
The practice says secretaries provide acknowledgement and confirmation that a referral has been made.
Hospital appointment questions
Once the hospital has the referral, appointment timing and chasing often need the hospital service.
Choose & Book
If asked to book yourself, follow the booking instructions and keep reference information safe.
Home visits: when to request one
The patient charter says home visits should be medically justifiable and not requested for social convenience. It also says the decision to home visit is at the doctor’s discretion, and a specific doctor cannot be guaranteed.
| Situation | Likely route | Important note |
|---|---|---|
| Housebound and unwell | Ask for clinical triage | Explain why the patient cannot safely attend the surgery. |
| Would be harmed if moved | Possible home-visit request | The doctor decides whether a visit is needed. |
| Transport difficulty only | Usually attend surgery or arrange transport | Social convenience is not usually a medical reason for a home visit. |
| Emergency symptoms | Call 999 | Do not wait for a GP home visit. |
Register with Edenbridge Medical Practice as a new patient
The official new-patients page says you can register if you live within the practice catchment area. You can register online or come to reception to complete the necessary forms. It asks patients to bring photo ID and proof of current address, and says completing online registration forms does not automatically mean your registration has been accepted.

CQC rating, reviews and quality note
When searching reviews or CQC, be careful because Edenbridge Medical Practice has moved to Edenbridge Memorial Health Centre, Four Elms Road, and some CQC pages may show previous-profile information.
