Use 999 for emergency symptoms. Use NHS 111 when closed or urgent but not life-threatening.
Try NHS App for GP appointments, smear tests and NHS Health Checks where the practice enables booking.
Explain symptoms, start date, what changed, medicines tried and best callback number.
The practice says they may need to contact you for more information or to offer an appointment.
Cancel via NHS App or call 0113 467 7515 so another patient can use the slot.

AccuRx: exactly what to use it for
AccuRx is useful for online contact, symptoms, virtual appointments, health advice, fit notes and medication requests. It is not an emergency route.
| Task | AccuRx option | What to write |
|---|---|---|
| Medical symptom | Report symptoms to GP. | One problem, start date, severity, red flags, medicines tried, preferred contact route. |
| Repeat medication through AccuRx | Submit a new request → admin query → medication request. | Medicine name, dose, pharmacy, how many days left, reason if not on repeat list. |
| Fit note | Fit/sick note questionnaire. | Exact dates, job demands, diagnosis/condition, whether first note or extension. |
| Private or admin form | Admin/routine request where offered. | Deadline, document type, recipient, consent, and whether you understand a fee may apply. |
| Emergency | Do not use AccuRx. | Call 999 or go to A&E for emergencies. |
Repeat prescriptions: easiest route, backup route, mistakes to avoid
The practice says repeat prescriptions can be ordered via NHS App, AccuRx, online services, in person using the red post box, or by post. Repeat requests are not accepted by telephone.
Best route
Use NHS App if your repeat medicines show there. The practice says allow 48 hours for medication to be sent to your selected pharmacy.
AccuRx route
Contact us online → submit a new request → admin query → medication request → complete the repeat form.
In-person route
Return the right-hand half of a previous prescription or complete a request form at reception and put it in the red post box.
Do not do this
Do not telephone for repeat medication. The practice says telephone repeat medication requests cannot be accepted.
| Problem | What it means | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| Medicine not on repeat list | It may need clinician review before being added. | Submit clear AccuRx request with medicine name, dose, who prescribed it and why you need it. |
| Pharmacy has not received it | It may still be processing, sent to another pharmacy, or awaiting review. | Check request date and allow up to 2 working days before chasing unless urgent. |
| Going abroad | NHS does not normally cover long-stay abroad medicine responsibility. | Check travel medicine advice early; buy travel sickness/diarrhoea relief at pharmacy where appropriate. |
| Medication review due | Structured Medication Review may be needed with pharmacist or clinician. | Bring all medicines, supplements, side effects and questions. |
| Need regular prescriptions | PPC may save money if you pay NHS prescription charges. | Check NHSBSA prescription prepayment certificate details. |
Test results: when to check, when to call, who owns the result
| Question | Practical answer | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Will they contact me if normal? | The practice says you will not normally be contacted if a result is normal. | Check NHS App or wait until advised time has passed. |
| When should I phone? | Practice result page says call after 11am; patient leaflet says Mon–Fri 10am–4pm. | Call 0113 467 7515. |
| Hospital ordered the test? | The GP practice says it cannot see tests requested outside the practice. | Contact the hospital or specialist clinic. |
| Can family ask for my result? | Only if written consent or power of attorney is in place. | Arrange consent before a carer phones. |
| Result needs discussion? | Reception can book telephone appointment if GP/nurse needs to discuss it. | Keep phone available after request. |
Fit notes: avoid using urgent GP appointments for paperwork
Your employer should not normally ask for GP evidence. Use self-certification.
Use the AccuRx fit/sick note questionnaire.
The practice says fit-note requests are answered within 48 hours, cannot be post-dated, and can be backdated if required.
Ask the hospital team for the fit note if they are managing the condition.
Register with City View Medical Practice
The practice welcomes new patients in LS11 and parts of LS1 and LS12. NHS currently shows the surgery as accepting new patients.
The practice says you can register if you live in its inner practice area.
You can use NHS online registration or visit reception to complete an application form.
The practice and NHS say proof of address, immigration status or ID is not required to register.
Get a prescription from your current practice before switching if you take regular medication.
You will be allocated a named GP and asked to attend a new patient medical with the healthcare team.
