Official contact and opening hours NHS Altrincham Medical Practice profile

Urgent and routine GP appointment routes are different

Urgent appointment for today or tomorrow

The practice tells patients who need an urgent appointment for today or tomorrow, Monday to Friday, to phone 0161 928 2424 or speak to reception in person. Staff ask what you need help with so they can direct you to the most appropriate doctor, nurse or health professional.

Routine appointment request

Use the online appointment request form or telephone reception.
The online form is listed as available Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 6:30pm.

Describe the main problem clearly.
The information is used to identify an appropriate professional rather than simply assigning the next GP slot.

Expect a reply within two working days for a routine online request.
This is the practice’s published response target during opening times.

Your consultation may not be face to face.
The practice may offer telephone, surgery, video, text or email contact depending on the problem.

Tell the practice what you need. You can ask for a specific doctor or other professional, state whether you prefer phone or face-to-face contact, and tell reception if you need an interpreter or another communication adjustment.

Official appointment guidance

Before using a 10-minute GP appointment

The practice published updated appointment-preparation guidance in April 2026. Standard GP appointments are normally 10 minutes, so it asks patients to focus on the main problem rather than saving a long list of unrelated issues for one consultation.

Lead with the main concern

Start with the problem that matters most, especially if symptoms are worsening or have changed recently.

Bring useful information

Take a current medicine list and relevant information the NHS record may not contain, including private-treatment details.

Several problems?

The GP may ask you to arrange another appointment. The practice suggests discussing a longer appointment where several issues genuinely need review.

Some problems do not need a GP

Reception may direct suitable musculoskeletal, pharmacy or wellbeing problems to another member of the primary-care team.

Practice appointment-preparation advice

Accurx, NHS App and Patient Access do different jobs

Accurx online form

You do not need an account. The practice lists it for appointment requests, fit notes, test-result questions and administrative requests.

NHS App / NHS account

Use it for repeat prescriptions, test results, parts of your GP record, appointment management and vaccination information where available.

Patient Access

The practice also supports Patient Access for online health services. Initial setup requires an application and identity check at the surgery.

Setting up Patient Access

Complete the practice’s online-services application form.

Visit the surgery with photo ID.
The practice uses this to confirm your identity.

Receive your username and password.

Finish registration through Patient Access or its app.

Official online-services guide

Evening and weekend appointments through the St Johns hub

Altrincham Medical Practice participates in Trafford Primary Health’s extended-access network. These are pre-booked appointments, not ordinary weekend opening at Lloyd House.

Extended-access period	Published availability
Weekday evenings	6:30pm–8:00pm
Saturday	9:00am–1:00pm
Sunday	9:00am–1:00pm
Other service	Phlebotomy appointments are also listed through the hub.

You may not see your usual GP. The extended-access service is shared across Trafford practices. Ask reception for the exact location and appointment instructions before travelling.

Home visits for housebound patients

The practice says it provides home visits when a patient is housebound and needs an appointment. It will telephone first to understand the problem.

The current appointment page says it is helpful to telephone the practice as soon after 11:00am as possible when requesting a home visit. Because home-visit timing instructions can change, use the live appointment page or reception if you need the current same-day arrangement.

A home visit is not a substitute for emergency care. Call 999 if someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk.

Repeat prescriptions: order online and allow two full working days

The practice does not accept routine repeat-prescription requests by telephone or email.

Prescription task	Current practice guidance
Order online	Use the weekday prescription form or NHS App/NHS account.
Paper request	Complete a repeat-request form and bring it to the surgery during opening hours.
Telephone/email order	The practice says these are not accepted for routine repeat requests.
Pharmacy collection	The prescription is usually ready at the nominated pharmacy two full working days after ordering.
Medicine question	Your pharmacist can answer many medicine questions. For a surgery prescription query, phone 0161 928 2424 after 10am.
Medication review	The practice contacts patients when a regular medication review is due.

Official repeat-prescription guidance

Test results: wait until a doctor has reviewed them

If a result shows that you need additional tests or treatment, the practice says it will contact you. Once a doctor has reviewed the result, patients can use the practice’s online test-result request route or visit reception.

Allow the result to reach the practice and be clinically reviewed.

Use the online results form if you want an update.
You can also visit the surgery during opening hours.

If you have a question about the result, submit the result-query form.
The practice says someone will contact you.

Hospital tests: if a hospital specialist ordered the investigation, follow the instructions given by that hospital team because they may remain responsible for explaining the result and next step.

Official test-result route

Registering with Altrincham Medical Practice

The NHS profile currently shows Altrincham Medical Practice as accepting new patients. Registration still depends on the practice’s catchment area, so check your address before completing the form.

Check the catchment.
The official registration page provides a postcode search before you complete the application.

Choose online or paper registration.
You can fill in the online registration form, download the New Patient Questionnaire, or collect a paper form from reception.

Have your NHS number if you know it.
The practice says it is helpful, although the NHS can help you find it if needed.

After registration, you will have a named accountable GP.
You are not restricted to seeing only that doctor; you can still request another GP or nurse.

Want a particular named GP? The practice says you can discuss a preference with reception, although allocation and availability still apply.

Official registration page Check live NHS registration status

Who else in the practice can help?

Not every problem needs a traditional GP appointment. Altrincham Medical Practice publishes several primary-care routes that can be quicker or more appropriate for the problem.

First Contact Physiotherapist

Adults with suitable back, neck, joint, soft-tissue or musculoskeletal problems can access the First Contact Physiotherapy team. The practice says patients can self-refer.

Clinical pharmacists

The practice’s clinical-pharmacy team supports medication management, long-term conditions and work arising from hospital discharge information.

Social prescribing

Social Prescribing Link Workers can connect adults with community and practical support, including wellbeing, social activities and financial/debt-support resources.

Practice nurses

The nursing team provides services including chronic-disease reviews, vaccinations, family-planning support and blood-pressure care.

Healthcare assistant

Published work includes health checks, blood pressure, ECGs and other support under the practice team.

Referrals

If you are already waiting for hospital care, the practice directs patients to My Planned Care for waiting-time and support information.
