Churchfields Medical Practice: appointments, opening hours, GP+ and patient help
Churchfields Medical Practice is an NHS GP surgery at Old Basford Health Centre, 1 Bailey Street, Old Basford, Nottingham, NG6 0HD. The practice is part of Raleigh Healthcare Primary Care Network and registered Nottingham City patients can also access the city’s GP+ evening and Saturday service.
Because the practice’s own website was not reliably retrievable during this verification, this guide does not invent a named triage platform, prescription turnaround or home-visit cut-off that could not be confirmed from a current authoritative source. Current NHS, ICB, CQC and Nottingham GP+ routes are used instead.
Use this number for urgent same-day practice contact, appointment help, registration queries, prescription problems, home-visit enquiries, test-result questions, online-access support or if you cannot find the correct digital route.

Churchfields Medical Practice opening hours
Current NHS-linked and recently updated local listings support the normal core timetable below. Some older cached directories still show early Wednesday or Saturday sessions; those should not be treated as the current normal surgery timetable without confirmation.
| Day | Current core opening | Patient note |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 8:00am–6:30pm | Call early if the problem needs assessment that day. |
| Tuesday | 8:00am–6:30pm | Normal weekday access. |
| Wednesday | 8:00am–6:30pm | Older listings may still show an earlier start; confirm before travelling early. |
| Thursday | 8:00am–6:30pm | GP+ provides separate evening access in Nottingham city. |
| Friday | 8:00am–6:30pm | Order regular medicine before weekend delays where possible. |
| Saturday | Closed for normal surgery access | Pre-booked GP+ appointments may be available elsewhere in Nottingham. |
| Sunday | Closed | Use NHS 111 for urgent non-life-threatening care. |
How to request an appointment
A current Churchfields-specific branded triage platform could not be verified reliably from the practice website during this research. That means this page does not tell patients to use Rapid Health, PATCHS, AccuRx or eConsult without evidence.
Phone 0115 978 1231, use the official Churchfields website, or use NHS App/NHS online appointment functions where Churchfields has made an appointment type available.
Nottingham & Nottinghamshire ICB says GP reception teams act as care navigators. They can help patients reach the right clinician, identify services that can be accessed without a GP referral and book newer types of primary-care appointment.
The ICB says clinically urgent needs should be assessed on the same day by telephone or face-to-face care, although an afternoon request may sometimes be assessed the following day where clinically appropriate.
Local ICB guidance says a non-urgent problem that needs a telephone or face-to-face consultation should normally be scheduled within two weeks. The exact clinician and appointment time depend on clinical need and Churchfields capacity.
GP+ Nottingham: evening and Saturday appointments for Churchfields patients
Churchfields Medical Practice is a Nottingham City practice, so its registered patients can use GP+ Nottingham City for extra routine primary-care appointments.
Monday to Friday
GP+ currently operates 4:00pm–8:00pm on weekday evenings.
Saturday
The current Nottingham City GP Alliance page lists Saturday access from 9:00am–5:00pm.
Who can you see?
Published GP+ professionals include GPs, Practice Nurses, Clinical Pharmacists and Physiotherapists. The right appointment depends on the problem.
Can you walk in?
No. GP+ is explicitly not a walk-in service. Appointments must be booked in advance through your registered practice.
Where is the main Nottingham GP+ hub?
The current service page gives the main GP+ address as 64 Long Row, Nottingham, NG1 6JE, using the Angel Row entrance. However, some appointments can be offered at a location closer to the patient. Confirm the address when Churchfields books the appointment.
GP+ contact number: 0115 824 0583. The service says new appointments should still be booked through your registered GP practice rather than by treating GP+ as a walk-in clinic.
Churchfields is part of Raleigh Healthcare PCN
Churchfields Medical Practice works within Raleigh Healthcare Primary Care Network alongside Greenfields Medical Practice, Lime Tree Surgery and JRB Healthcare/Beechdale. The practices retain separate patient lists but share some additional healthcare roles and services.
Clinical pharmacists
Can support medication reviews, medicine optimisation, prescription safety and some long-term-condition medicine work.
Physiotherapists
Suitable musculoskeletal problems may be directed to a physiotherapy professional rather than requiring a routine GP appointment first.
Social prescribers
Can help with non-medical factors affecting wellbeing, such as isolation, community support and practical social needs.
Care coordinators
Can support patients who need help navigating several services or organising elements of ongoing care.
Healthcare assistants
May provide observations, checks and other delegated clinical work depending on the appointment type.
Your GP team remains responsible
PCN services add capacity and professional roles, but Churchfields remains your registered GP practice if you are registered there.
Repeat prescriptions: do not guess the turnaround
The current official Churchfields website could not be reliably retrieved during this verification, and an authoritative Churchfields-specific repeat-prescription processing time was not found. For that reason, this guide does not copy a generic 48-hour or 72-hour rule from another surgery.
If Churchfields has enabled the item for online repeat ordering, open the prescription section, select the medicine and check that the nominated pharmacy is correct.
A medicine may need a clinical review, blood test, blood-pressure check or another safety assessment before more can be prescribed.
Weekends, bank holidays, practice approval and pharmacy preparation all add time. Do not wait until the final dose if the medicine is taken regularly.
Contact Churchfields while it is open. If the practice is closed, a pharmacy or NHS 111 may be able to advise on the correct urgent-medicine route.
For a broader NHS explanation of repeats, medicine reviews, urgent supply and nominated pharmacies, see the MedicalPracticeUK medication guide.
Test results: check who ordered the investigation
A Churchfields-specific published results-call timetable was not reliably verified, so this page avoids inventing one. The useful first question is: who requested the test?
Churchfields requested it
Check NHS App/online record access where enabled or contact the practice after the expected processing time. If a result needs clinical interpretation, ask what follow-up the practice has advised.
Hospital or specialist requested it
The hospital team may remain responsible for explaining and acting on the result. Check your clinic letter before assuming Churchfields has been asked to follow it up.
Churchfields is currently accepting new patients
NHS.uk currently displays Churchfields Medical Practice as accepting new patients. Registration status and catchment boundaries can change, so check the live NHS page at the time you apply.
The correct address is Old Basford Health Centre, 1 Bailey Street, Old Basford, Nottingham, NG6 0HD.
Use NHS.uk or the Churchfields website to start the current application process.
NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire confirms that GP registration is free and you do not need proof of address, immigration status, photo ID or an NHS number as a condition of registration.
Keep an up-to-date medicine list available while records transfer from your previous GP, especially if you will need another supply soon.
Home visits: phone Churchfields and explain why the patient cannot attend
CQC’s inspection history confirms Churchfields has provided home visits for patients whose needs make attending the practice difficult. The exact current home-visit booking cut-off was not clearly published in a current official patient page available during this research, so this guide does not invent a time.
Churchfields has a named Carer Champion
The Nottinghamshire Carers Hub currently lists Churchfields Medical Practice within Raleigh PCN and identifies a Carer Champion for the surgery. This gives unpaid carers a useful point of recognition within the practice.
If you regularly look after a relative, friend or neighbour who could not manage without your support, tell Churchfields that you are a carer and ask for this to be recorded on your GP record.
What services are verified for Churchfields?
CQC currently registers Churchfields Medical Practice for several regulated primary-care activities. This is safer than copying long third-party service lists that may be stale.
General medical treatment
CQC registers the practice for treatment of disease, disorder or injury, covering core NHS GP diagnosis and management.
Diagnostic and screening work
Churchfields is registered for diagnostic and screening procedures associated with primary care.
Family planning
Family-planning activity forms part of the practice’s registered CQC services. Current appointment availability should still be checked directly.
Maternity-related services
CQC also records maternity and midwifery-related regulated activity at the practice. Local maternity pathways may involve external NHS maternity teams.
Surgical procedures
The CQC registration includes surgical procedures. The exact minor-surgery clinic and eligibility should be confirmed before booking.
PCN services
Raleigh Healthcare PCN adds access to roles such as pharmacists, physiotherapists, care coordinators and social prescribers.
Accessibility and communication support
CQC’s inspection record says the premises and facilities were appropriate for the services delivered and that interpreting services had been used so patients with communication needs could participate in consultations.
Interpreter or communication need
Tell reception when booking if you need an interpreter, communication assistance or another reasonable adjustment. Advance notice gives the practice more time to arrange appropriate support.
Specific physical-access question
Current detailed NHS facility fields could not be reliably retrieved during this verification. If accessible parking, toilet access, wheelchair access or another physical adjustment is essential, call 0115 978 1231 before travelling rather than relying on an old directory.
Feedback or complaint: start with the practice manager
Current Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB guidance says it is usually best to raise a GP-practice concern with the practice manager first. If you are uncomfortable doing that, or need another route, the ICB also provides feedback and formal complaint options through its Patient Experience Team.
Prepare the facts
Include the date, what happened, who was involved if known, how it affected you and what outcome you want. Specific information is easier to investigate than a general complaint.
Doctor conduct versus service complaint
Appointment access, reception, prescriptions and administrative problems normally start with the practice/NHS complaint process. A serious professional fitness-to-practise concern about a doctor can involve a different regulator route.
For that distinction, see the GMC Good Medical Practice explainer.
CQC rating: Good across all five domains
CQC currently displays Churchfields Medical Practice as Good overall. The comprehensive inspection took place on 6 November 2017 and the report was published on 28 December 2017.
| CQC area | Current displayed rating |
|---|---|
| Overall | Good |
| Safe | Good |
| Effective | Good |
| Caring | Good |
| Responsive | Good |
| Well-led | Good |
CQC reviewed available information again on 6 July 2023 and said it had not found evidence requiring the rating to be reassessed at that stage. That is a data review, not a new full inspection.

Another Nottingham GP guide
Appointment systems vary even between practices in the same area. Our Musters Medical Practice Nottingham guide is an example of a local practice using a clearly published named digital triage platform, whereas this Churchfields article deliberately does not assign a platform that could not be verified from the accessible official sources.

Last verified: 21 September 2026. The official Churchfields domain is confirmed by CQC, but its pages were not reliably retrievable during this research session. For that reason, practice-specific facts that could not be verified—such as a branded triage platform, exact repeat-prescription turnaround, results-call window, parking specification or current home-visit cut-off—have deliberately not been guessed.
