Appointments: phone, online services and clinical routing
The current Northern Moor website publishes a dedicated Appointments section as well as Patient Access online services. Because exact appointment-release rules can change, this page does not invent a “call at 8am” or fixed triage timetable that the current practice information does not clearly publish.
Open Northern Moor Medical Practice’s website and choose Appointments, or call 0161 998 2503 if you need help by phone.
The current practice team works with GPs and wider primary-care professionals, so the right person may depend on the problem.
Say if you need an interpreter, a particular communication method, extra support or another reasonable adjustment.
Confirm whether it is face-to-face, telephone or another format, and keep your phone available if a callback is expected.
Cancel an appointment online instead of wasting the slot
Northern Moor currently provides a dedicated online cancellation form. Patients with a Patient Access account can also use the linked online-service route.
Use the practice form rather than sending confidential appointment information through an unofficial directory.
The form asks for patient identification and the date, time and clinician linked to the appointment.
The practice specifically asks patients to cancel early enough for the appointment to be offered to someone else.
The right person may be someone other than a GP
Recent NHS recruitment information for Northern Moor shows a multidisciplinary model that includes GPs plus wider roles supporting patient care.
Practice nurse
Nursing support forms part of the core practice team and may be appropriate for planned clinical care and monitoring.
Pharmacy support
Recent practice recruitment information lists pharmacy support, which can help with medicine-related work where appropriate.
First Contact Physiotherapy
The practice has worked with First Contact Physiotherapists through its wider primary-care team for suitable musculoskeletal problems.
Mental health and social prescribing
Recent practice information also identifies mental-health workers and social-prescribing support within the wider team.
Home visits: use the current practice route
The live Northern Moor website contains a dedicated Home Visits section, and recent NHS recruitment information confirms home visits remain part of the practice’s clinical work.
A clinician decides whether a home visit is appropriate and which professional should provide it. If someone is seriously ill and the situation is life-threatening, call 999 rather than waiting for a GP visit.
Repeat prescriptions: use the NHS or practice online route
Northern Moor publishes online services through Patient Access, while the NHS App also provides repeat-prescription ordering where the medication is enabled on your NHS account.
| Situation | Practical route |
|---|---|
| Medicine already listed as a repeat | Check the NHS App/NHS account or Patient Access and order the item if it is available there. |
| Medicine is missing from the repeat list | Contact the practice for the current clinical or medication-query route rather than repeatedly submitting a repeat order. |
| Prescription has already been issued | Contact the nominated pharmacy first if the problem is collection, stock or dispensing. |
| Urgently out of regular medicine while closed | Use the NHS emergency-prescription route or NHS 111 where appropriate. |
Test results: check the NHS App, then contact the practice when needed
NHS patients can view many GP-record test results through the NHS App where online record access is enabled. Northern Moor also provides practice contact routes for result follow-up and clinical discussion.
Different investigations have different turnaround times, so there is no safe single timeframe for every test.
If the result is visible, read any clinician comment or next-step instruction attached to it.
Reception can help with the route, but a clinical question may need a GP, nurse or another healthcare professional.

If your address is close to the boundary or you have recently moved, ask reception rather than assuming that an M23 postcode automatically guarantees registration.

CQC rating: Good, but the inspection itself is historical
CQC currently displays an overall rating of Good for Northern Moor Medical Practice. The date matters: the rating followed a focused inspection on 12 September 2016, with the report published on 25 October 2016.
| CQC record | Published position | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Overall rating currently displayed | Good | Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led are also displayed as Good. |
| Focused inspection | 12 September 2016 | CQC revisited the practice after an earlier Requires Improvement judgement. |

| Latest CQC information review | 6 July 2023 | CQC said it had not found evidence requiring reassessment of the rating at that stage. |
Do not describe this as a new CQC inspection
The rating remains displayed by CQC, but the underlying inspection is from 2016. The later 2023 review was a review of available information and data, not a new comprehensive inspection.
