Appointments: Accurx, NHS App, phone or reception

Abbey House now uses the same clinical-routing approach whether the patient starts online, phones or attends reception. This is more useful than repeatedly trying different channels for the same request.

1
Check urgency first.
Call 999 if life is at risk. Use NHS 111 if urgent and the practice is closed or you are unsure which urgent-care service is appropriate.
2
For routine requests, use the official Accurx form or NHS App.
The practice publishes online routine access from 8:00am to 5:00pm Monday to Friday.
3
Phone or visit if online is difficult.
Call 01327 877770, option 1, from 8am to 6:30pm, or speak to reception from 8am to 6pm.
4
Tell the team what help you need.
The information is used to choose the most suitable GP, nurse or other healthcare professional.
5
Expect different consultation formats.
The practice may offer face-to-face care, telephone consultation, video, text or email depending on the request.
Same-day online-response target: Abbey House says routine requests received through its online service or NHS App from 8am–5pm on weekdays will usually receive a response the same day during opening times. This does not mean every routine face-to-face appointment itself will occur that day.

Official Enhanced Access information

Home visits are for patients genuinely unable to travel

Abbey House’s emergency guidance says home visits are only for patients who are genuinely unfit to travel. The surgery can often assess the problem more effectively on site, where examination equipment and the wider team are available.

Contact the practice early. A current exact home-visit cutoff is not clearly published on the accessible live page, so this guide does not invent one. Call 01327 877770 as early as practical and explain why the patient cannot medically attend the surgery.

A clinician may first decide whether telephone advice, practice attendance, a community service, NHS 111 or a home visit is the safest route. For a life-threatening emergency, call 999 rather than waiting for a GP visit.

Repeat prescriptions: no telephone ordering

Method Current Abbey House guidance
NHS App Order authorised repeat medicines through your NHS account.
SystmOnline / online services Patients registered for online access can order regular repeat medicines electronically.
Collection box Paper repeat requests can be placed in the collection box at either surgery.
Telephone Not accepted for repeat prescription requests.
Electronic Prescription Service Approved prescriptions can be sent to your nominated pharmacy.
Allow up to two working days. The practice currently asks for up to two working days for a regular repeat prescription to be prepared. Your pharmacy may need additional time to dispense or obtain stock.

If you have a prescription question rather than an order, the contact page asks patients to phone where possible between 10am and 2pm.

Official prescription guidance NHS App information

For general help preparing repeat-medicine requests and checking your nominated pharmacy, use the Medication Practices guide.

Test results: use the dedicated result windows

Abbey House has a specific telephone route for blood-test, urine-sample and X-ray results.

Result route Current detail
Telephone Call 01327 877770 and select option 2.
Morning results window 10:00am–12:00pm, Monday to Friday.
Afternoon results window 2:00pm–3:00pm, Monday to Friday.
NHS App Reviewed test results may also be available through your NHS account.
Different investigations take different amounts of time. If the doctor or nurse who ordered your test gave you a specific timeframe, use that instruction rather than assuming every result is available after the same number of days.
