Beech Tree Medical Practice Rugby: appointments, online triage and opening hours
Beech Tree Medical Practice is based at Rugby Health and Wellbeing Centre, Drover Close, Rugby, Warwickshire, CV21 3HX. The main telephone number is 01788 561319. Since August 2025, the practice has used clinician-reviewed online triage as its main GP appointment route rather than asking patients to compete for appointments at fixed 8am or 1:30pm release times.
Call for urgent appointment requests, online-triage help, nurse or healthcare-assistant appointments, registration questions, access needs, prescription problems and anything that cannot safely wait for the normal online route.

The appointment system changed: you no longer need to compete at 8am
Beech Tree changed its appointment system on 11 August 2025. The practice says patients no longer need to telephone at 8:00am or 1:30pm simply to try to secure a GP appointment.
Use the online consultation request for a routine medical problem.
The request is assessed by a clinician, so explain symptoms, timing and relevant concerns clearly.
The practice says a clinician normally deals with one problem during a consultation. Flagging multiple issues helps the practice decide what appointment option is appropriate.
Beech Tree publishes both same-day GP face-to-face appointments and telephone callbacks where clinically appropriate.
The practice says routine appointments can be scheduled up to two weeks in advance following an online consultation.
Cannot attend between 8am and 6:30pm?
The practice says pre-bookable enhanced-service appointments are available after 6:30pm Monday to Friday and on Saturdays, subject to availability.
Not necessarily at Beech Tree
Extended-hours appointments can be provided at different local locations. Confirm the address before travelling.
Ask reception
Reception can check whether an evening or Saturday appointment is suitable and currently available.
Repeat prescriptions: 48-hour minimum and no telephone ordering
The practice publishes four main repeat-prescription routes and specifically says telephone requests are not accepted because of the risk of mistakes.
| Ordering method | Beech Tree instructions |
|---|---|
| NHS App | Select the repeat medicine shown in your NHS account and submit the request electronically. |
| Send a repeat request to prescriptions.btmp@nhs.net. | |
| Reception prescription box | Tick the medicines needed on the repeat slip and place it in the prescription box. |
| Post | Send the repeat request with a stamped addressed envelope if return by post is needed; the practice says to allow four days for postal delivery. |
| Telephone | Not accepted for normal repeat-medication requests. |
Medication reviews
Patients on repeat treatment are expected to have an annual medication review with a clinical pharmacist or pharmacy technician. If a medicine no longer appears as a normal repeat item, do not repeatedly submit it—contact the practice because review or clinician approval may be required.
Blood tests and X-ray results: phone after 11am or check online
The practice gives a specific telephone tip that can save time: if you want the result of a blood test or X-ray, call after 11:00am, when the early surgery rush has eased.
NHS App / online record
The practice FAQ says GP-ordered results become available through NHS online services after a clinician has reviewed them.
Telephone
Call 01788 561319 after 11am if you need to ask about an available blood or X-ray result.
NHS App and practice online services
Beech Tree’s online-services page says patients can use online access for GP appointment functions, repeat prescriptions, medication history and allergy information. The practice FAQ also directs patients towards NHS App login for online healthcare services.
Appointments
Use the practice triage route for clinician-reviewed requests and NHS App functions where enabled.
Repeat medication
Request medicines already set up as repeat treatment without telephoning reception.
Records and results
Available clinician-reviewed results and parts of the GP record can be viewed where the necessary access is enabled.
Register with Beech Tree Medical Practice
Beech Tree currently states that it is accepting new patients and provides both an online registration form and GP catchment postcode search.
Use the practice postcode search before completing registration if you are unsure whether your address is covered.
Include pre-existing medical conditions, carer information and any reasonable adjustments that affect how you access healthcare.
The practice says patients taking medication or living with a long-term condition will be offered a new-patient registration medical appointment with the GP assistant.
Beech Tree says you may state a preference when registering, but some services are provided only by particular clinicians, so another appropriate clinician may sometimes be offered.
Clinics that can be booked directly through reception
Beech Tree publishes a unusually detailed clinic timetable. Exact staff availability can change, but the current clinic page lists the following:
| Service | Current published arrangement |
|---|---|
| Antenatal clinic | Midwife clinic on Tuesday and Thursday; booking route provided through the practice. |
| Asthma clinic | Listed on Monday and Tuesday. |
| Blood tests | HCA / GP assistant appointments on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings. |
| COPD | Published for Monday and Tuesday. |
| Diabetes clinic | Clinic availability listed Monday to Friday. |
| NHS Health Checks | Provided by GP assistant and healthcare assistant for eligible patients. |
| Minor surgery | Includes cryotherapy and joint injections; discuss the problem with a doctor before the procedure is arranged. |
| Travel clinic | Listed with the practice nursing team. |
Accessibility and reasonable adjustments
Beech Tree’s accessibility statement confirms that reception and consulting rooms have audio induction loops. A British Sign Language interpreter can also be arranged if the practice is contacted before the appointment.
Reasonable Adjustment Flag
The practice provides an online questionnaire so requirements can be recorded in the patient record. Examples include mobility, hearing, visual, learning, autism, ADHD, mental-health, cognitive and communication needs.
Communication preferences
The questionnaire lets patients state whether phone, text, email or an authorised alternative contact works best, and request BSL, another language interpreter, Makaton, easy-read or large-print information.
CQC has also described the health centre as a modern purpose-built building with disabled access and parking.
Parking at Rugby Health and Wellbeing Centre: remember the ANPR cameras
The practice warns that its car park uses automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras.
This is easy to miss if someone else drives you, you use a temporary vehicle or you are concentrating on getting to an urgent appointment. Check the registration number before leaving the reception area.
Complaints and concerns: contact the practice management team
Beech Tree asks patients with a complaint to contact its practice management team so the issue can be investigated locally.
Include dates, the service involved, who you spoke to if known and what outcome you are seeking.
The current published complaint address is btmp.pm@nhs.net.
The practice charter identifies NHS Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board as the local body overseeing GP services.
Do not wait for the complaint investigation if you still need treatment; use the appropriate GP, NHS 111 or emergency route at the same time.
CQC rating: Good overall, but the inspection is historical
CQC currently displays Beech Tree Medical Practice as Good overall. Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led are all shown as Good.
| CQC event | Date / result | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Overall rating | Good | The rating currently displayed on the live CQC profile. |
| Follow-up inspection | 5 December 2018 | CQC followed up an earlier Safe rating of Requires Improvement and found sufficient improvement for Safe to become Good. |
| Report published | 8 January 2019 | Publication date of the latest inspection summary displayed by CQC. |
| Later data review | 6 July 2023 | CQC said the information available did not indicate a need to inspect or reassess the rating at that stage. |
