I need help today
If symptoms are severe, use 999. If urgent but not life-threatening and the practice is closed, use NHS 111. If GP-suitable and the practice is open, use Accurx or phone.
I need routine GP help
Use Accurx during listed request hours. Put the main problem first, include when it started, what changed, what you tried and what you need.
I need repeat medicine
Use SystmOnline, NHS App, the practice online route, prescription counterfoil or post. Do not phone for routine repeat medication.
I need a preferred doctor
Accurx lets you request a particular doctor, so long as they are working. Be prepared to wait longer for a specific GP.
I need a fit note
If illness lasts seven days or less, self-certification usually applies. If more than seven days, use the fit-note route and give clear dates.
I am helping someone else
Accurx can be used for children or people you care for if they are registered at the practice. Make your relationship clear in the request.

How to request a Lindum Medical Practice appointment
The official appointment page says Lindum Medical Practice now uses Accurx instead of AskMyGP. Accurx is available Monday to Friday 8.00am to 6.30pm. The practice says requests are usually answered the same day, although requests after 1.30pm might be answered the next day. A clinician triages requests and gives priority as same day or routine up to two weeks.
Call 999 for emergency symptoms. Use NHS 111 if it is urgent and the surgery is closed or you are not sure where to go.
Use Accurx for appointments, admin queries and prescription requests during the listed request window. You can use it through the practice website or via the NHS App.
Say what is wrong, when it started, what has changed, what you have tried, medication, allergies, photos if asked, and whether you are worried it is getting worse.
The official appointment page says you can choose contact by telephone, secure message or email, or video call where suitable.
You can request a particular doctor if they are working, but you may wait longer if you want a specific clinician.
The official appointment page warns that patients who do not attend more than three times in six months may be asked to leave the practice list.
Hello, my name is [your name]. My date of birth is [date of birth]. I am registered at Lindum Medical Practice. I need help because [one clear sentence]. I cannot use Accurx / I need advice today. What is the safest next step?

Use Accurx for GP requests
Write the main problem clearly. The clinician can triage and decide whether you need same-day help, routine follow-up or another service.
Use Accurx for admin requests
Useful for paperwork, contact questions, forms, fit-note questions and other non-urgent surgery admin.
Use Accurx for prescription requests
The banner says Accurx is open for prescription requests. For routine repeats, follow the dedicated repeat prescription rules too.
