Choose the right Hockley route first

One login does not cover every task. Use the route below to avoid calling for something you can complete online, or using an online service when you actually need reception.

You need Best first step Useful detail
Life-threatening emergency Call 999. Do not wait for an online consultation or GP callback.
A non-urgent medical or admin request online Open Hockley’s official Online Services page and use its AccuRx route. Start from the practice page rather than an old bookmarked third-party link.
Urgent GP help while open Call 0121 554 1757 or speak to reception. Explain what you need help with so the practice can direct you appropriately.
Repeat medication Use NHS App or Patient Access where the medicine is available to request. No current Hockley-specific processing time was verified on the pages reviewed, so order before you are close to running out.
Test results or record information Check NHS App or Patient Access if the result has been released. Contact the surgery if the result is missing or you have been asked to discuss it.
New-patient registration Check the NHS catchment tool, then use NHS online registration. NHS currently lists the practice as accepting new patients.
Evening or weekend routine appointment Ask Hockley reception during normal hours. i3 Ladywood PCN appointments may take place at another local hub.
Urgent help when closed Use NHS 111 online or call 111. Use 999 instead for a life-threatening emergency.

If you need a wider explanation of NHS GP booking, registration and reception triage, the Medical Practice UK NHS GP guide covers the general process without replacing Hockley’s own rules.

Hockley Medical Practice opening hours

Day Current practice-listed hours What patients should know
Monday 8:00am–6:30pm Normal weekday reception access.
Tuesday 8:00am–6:30pm Extended-access appointments after 6:30pm are a separate PCN service.
Wednesday 8:00am–6:30pm Use online services for suitable routine tasks.
Thursday 8:00am–6:30pm Check live notices before travelling on a bank holiday or training day.
Friday 8:00am–6:30pm Plan routine medicine and admin requests before the weekend.
Saturday 9:00am–1:00pm By appointment only. Do not treat this as walk-in opening.

Current practice contact and hours page NHS opening-times profile
Source freshness: the NHS opening-hours page says its hours were last confirmed in October 2022. The current Hockley practice contact page still lists the same weekday and Saturday times, so the practice website is the better live check before travelling.

Online services: AccuRx, Patient Access and NHS App

Hockley’s dedicated Online Services page specifically names AccuRx for online consultation. It also lists Patient Access and the NHS App for supported appointment, prescription and health-record tasks.

Why the homepage can look confusing

The current Practice365 homepage displays several online-consultation tiles, including different product names. Rather than assuming every tile is actively used for the same purpose, start from Hockley’s dedicated Online Services page. That page specifically identifies AccuRx as the online consultation route and gives the practice’s Patient Access/NHS App instructions.

Hockley official Online Services page Official NHS App information

AccuRx

Use the practice’s named online-consultation option for a suitable non-urgent medical or administrative request.

Patient Access

The practice says Patient Access can be used for supported appointment booking, repeat prescriptions and viewing parts of your health record.

NHS App

Hockley lists the NHS App for repeat prescriptions, supported appointments and access to parts of your GP record including medicines, vaccinations and test results.

Setting up Patient Access

1
Visit the surgery with photo ID.
Hockley’s Online Services page says reception confirms your identity before issuing your online registration details.
2
Receive the practice registration details.
Reception provides the username/password information needed for the practice’s online-service registration process.
3
Enter the details exactly as issued.
The practice instructs patients to register with Patient Access using the details on the form.
4
Log in after registration.
Once connected, the available options depend on what the practice has enabled for your account.
Two different registrations: registering as an NHS patient and registering for Patient Access are not the same thing. NHS guidance says you do not need ID, proof of address, immigration status or an NHS number simply to register with a GP online. Hockley’s separate Patient Access setup does ask you to attend with photo ID so the practice can confirm your identity for record access.

For another example of how online record and result access can differ by surgery, see the Richford Gate Medical Practice guide. Do not copy another practice’s timings or portal rules to Hockley.

Appointments: which route should you use?

The current official pages confirm multiple access routes rather than one universal booking method. For a routine online medical or admin request, start from Hockley’s Online Services page. If the matter is urgent while the surgery is open, you cannot use digital services, or you are unsure which clinician you need, call reception.

Online request

Use AccuRx from the official Online Services page for suitable non-urgent medical or administrative requests.

Phone or reception

Call 0121 554 1757 or attend reception when online access is not suitable or you need help navigating the service.

NHS App / Patient Access

These can provide supported booking and cancellation options depending on the services currently enabled by the practice.

Saturday appointment

The surgery lists Saturday 9:00am–1:00pm but specifically states that Saturday attendance is by appointment only.

Do not turn up on Saturday expecting a walk-in clinic. The practice explicitly labels Saturday as appointment-only.

Evening and weekend extended access through i3 Ladywood PCN

Hockley Medical Practice is part of i3 Ladywood Primary Care Network. The practice says registered patients can access additional pre-booked non-urgent appointments outside normal hours.

Extended-access period Published location How to book
Monday–Friday, 6:30pm–8:00pm Summerfield Health Centre PCN hub Ask Hockley reception during normal opening hours. Pre-booked appointments only.
Saturday, 9:00am–12:00pm Church Road Surgery, 28 Church Road, Aston, Birmingham, B6 5UP Ask Hockley reception. Pre-booked appointments only.
Two different Saturday arrangements: Hockley’s own contact page lists the main practice as open Saturday 9am–1pm by appointment only. The PCN also lists a separate Saturday extended-access hub at Church Road Surgery from 9am–12pm. Confirm the location in your appointment message before travelling.

Repeat prescriptions

Hockley’s current Online Services page confirms that repeat medicines can be requested through Patient Access and the NHS App where the medicine appears as an available repeat item.

NHS App

View available repeat medicines, submit a request and choose or review the pharmacy used for electronic prescriptions where supported.

Patient Access

Once your account is linked to Hockley Medical Practice, repeat prescription ordering is one of the services the practice lists.

No Hockley-specific prescription turnaround was verified on the current practice pages reviewed. Do not rely on a processing time copied from another surgery. Order routine medication in good time and check the request status through your NHS App, Patient Access, nominated pharmacy or the practice if necessary.

For general NHS repeat-prescription planning, nominated-pharmacy help and urgent medicine routes, use the Medication Practices guide.

Test results and your GP record

Hockley’s online-services guidance says Patient Access and the NHS App can show parts of your GP health record, including test-result information when it has been made available.

1
Check your NHS App or linked Patient Access account.
Look in the health-record or results area if the test has been released for online viewing.
2
Check who requested the test.
If a hospital or another service arranged it, that service may be responsible for explaining the result or arranging follow-up.
3
Contact Hockley if you cannot see what you expect.
Use the practice’s online consultation route or call reception if the result is missing, you were asked to discuss it, or you cannot access online services.
No fixed Hockley test-result turnaround time was verified on the current official pages reviewed. Different tests take different lengths of time, so this page does not invent a generic “3 days” or “5 days” rule.

Register with Hockley Medical Practice

The NHS profile currently states that Hockley Medical Practice is accepting new patients. NHS also provides a postcode catchment check and an online registration route for this practice.

1
Check the catchment area.
Use the NHS Hockley registration page and enter your postcode before assuming the surgery covers your address.
2
Prepare your information.
NHS online registration asks for your name, address, previous GP details if applicable, NHS number if known, emergency contact, medical history, allergies, medicines and contact details.
3
Register online through the NHS route.
NHS states that you do not need proof of address, immigration status, ID or an NHS number to register online with a GP.
4
Use phone or reception if online registration is difficult.
NHS lists Hockley reception on 0121 554 1757 and says forms can also be collected from the surgery.
