Appointments: urgent, routine, telephone, pharmacist and nurse routes

The official appointments page separates urgent appointments, routine appointments, face-to-face appointments, telephone appointments, clinical pharmacist appointments and nurse appointments.

Official appointments page Online consult form Call 0161 998 3818

Check emergency symptoms first.
Use 999 for life-threatening symptoms. Use NHS 111 if urgent but not life-threatening and the surgery is closed.

Urgent appointment?
Phone 0161 998 3818 at 8am Monday to Friday. The practice says urgent appointments should be booked as early as possible.

Routine request?
Use the online consult form, Patient Access/NHS App or phone. Allow 48 hours for an online appointment request response.

Reception may ask why.
This helps book the right person: GP, nurse, pharmacist, telephone appointment, message to clinician or another route.

Telephone appointment?
Keep your phone on. The practice gives an estimated call window, not an exact time, because visits and emergency appointments can affect timing.

Cancel if needed.
Cancel online through Patient Access or phone the surgery so another patient can use the appointment.

Phone or online-form script

Hello, my name is [name]. Date of birth: [date]. I am registered at Brooklands Medical Practice. I need help with [one clear problem]. It started [when]. It is [getting worse/not improving]. I have tried [self-care/medicine]. Is this best for a GP, telephone appointment, clinical pharmacist, nurse, local pharmacy, NHS 111 or 999?

Online services: Patient Access, NHS App and record access

The practice says online services can help patients book/check/cancel appointments, order repeat prescriptions, see parts of the health record, see medicines/vaccinations/test results and view communications between the GP surgery and other services.

Official online services page NHS App login Patient Access login

Online task	What official pages say	Patient tip
Register for online services	Come to the surgery with photo ID, then receive username/password details.	Bring passport, driving licence or another accepted photo ID.
Patient Access	Can support repeat prescriptions, record viewing and secure practice messaging.	Use exact registration details from the practice letter.
NHS App	Can order repeat prescriptions and access NHS account features.	Make sure your NHS App account is fully verified.
Proxy access	Someone acting for the patient can formally register for proxy access with patient consent.	Useful for carers, parents and family members supporting older patients.
Record access	Over-16s with online access may see future notes and health records from GP entries.	Hospital/specialist records are separate.

Safety tip: never share NHS App, Patient Access, password, linkage, PIN or medical-record details with unofficial websites, social media pages or callers.

Repeat prescriptions: 4-day processing and no phone requests

The official prescription page says repeat medication requests can take up to 4 days to process, excluding weekends and bank holidays. The practice does not take prescription requests over the phone unless the patient is registered housebound.

Official prescriptions page NHS App Patient Access NHS prescription costs

Patient Access

Use online repeat prescription ordering when your account is active.

NHS

NHS App

Order repeat prescriptions through NHS App or NHS account where enabled.

Regular pharmacy

Your pharmacy may help submit repeat prescription requests or manage nomination.

Write

Written request

Use written request at the practice if online access is not suitable.

Prescription issue	Official/practical rule	Best action
Routine repeat medicine	Can take up to 4 days excluding weekends and bank holidays.	Order early, not on your last dose.
Can I phone?	No phone requests unless registered housebound.	Use Patient Access, NHS App, pharmacy or written request.
Pharmacy says nothing arrived	Prescription may still be processing or sent to different pharmacy.	Check with pharmacy before calling practice.
No nominated pharmacy	Electronic prescribing can send the prescription directly to a pharmacy.	Nominate a pharmacy through pharmacy or reception.
Medication review / synchronisation	Practice asks patients to contact for medication synchronisation, health/medication review or prescribing questions.	Use online consult form if clarification is needed.
Medicine query	First raise medicine questions with nominated pharmacy where appropriate.	Use practice form if pharmacy cannot resolve it.

Medicine planning tip: allow at least 7 days in real life because practice processing, weekends, bank holidays, pharmacist review, stock delays and wrong pharmacy nomination can all slow collection.

Test results: practice test vs hospital test

The official test-results page separates tests requested by the practice from tests requested by another provider. This prevents patients calling the GP for a hospital-owned result.

Official test results page Wythenshawe Hospital Manchester Royal Infirmary

Result situation	Official detail	Patient action
Test requested by Brooklands practice	You can access results through Patient Access or by calling 0161 998 3818.	Check Patient Access first if activated.
Test not requested by practice	Contact the provider where you had the test.	Call the hospital/ward/department that ordered it.
Wythenshawe Hospital	Southmoor Road, Wythenshawe, M23 9LT; listed phone 0161 998 7070.	Use hospital route for hospital-ordered tests.
Manchester Royal Infirmary	Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9WL; listed phone 0161 276 1234.	Ask the relevant department.
Salford Royal	Stott Lane, Salford, M6 8HD; listed phone 0161 789 7373.	Use provider/department route for their tests.

Result tip: when having a test, ask “Who ordered this test and who will explain the result?” It saves calling the wrong place later.

Sick notes and fit notes: when you need a GP note

The official sick/fit-note page says you do not need to see a doctor for illness of 7 days or less. For more than 7 days off work, your employer will usually ask for a fit note from a GP or hospital doctor.

Official sick/fit note guidance Sick note form GOV.UK self-certification

Situation	Rule	Action
Ill for 7 days or less	You usually do not need to see a doctor.	Use self-certification.
Employer wants note anyway	Doctor’s note may involve a charge.	Ask employer if self-certification is enough.
More than 7 days	Employer usually asks for a fit note.	Contact the practice to arrange appropriate assessment.
Hospital treatment	Hospital doctor can issue fit note if they manage your condition.	Ask hospital before returning to GP.
Urgent appointment misuse	Fit-note renewal is often admin, not urgent medical need.	Use the correct form/route unless symptoms have worsened.

Home visits: phone by 10:30am and use only when clinically needed

The appointments page says home visits are usually carried out between 12:00 and 14:30 and should be requested by calling 0161 998 3818 by 10:30.

Official appointment and home visit page Home visit guidance Call surgery

Home visit point	Official/practical detail	What to say
Request time	Call by 10:30 where possible.	Give symptoms, duration and why patient cannot attend surgery.
Visit window	Usually carried out between 12:00 and 14:30.	Keep phone nearby in case clinician phones first.
Who may call back?	Doctor or nurse may phone and decide the best route.	Be clear about mobility, frailty and safety concerns.
When suitable?	Appropriate where patient is terminally ill or bed bound, or travel would cause deterioration or unacceptable discomfort.	Do not request for convenience or transport difficulty alone.
Emergency symptoms	Home visit is not the emergency route.	Call 999 for danger signs.
