I need help today or tomorrow
For urgent GP help during opening hours, phone 0161 983 0800. Reception will ask what you need help with so the practice can route you to the right doctor, nurse or healthcare professional.

Routine requests can be made in advance during opening times. The official page says the practice will respond to requests within 2 working days.

The official prescriptions page says repeat prescriptions can be ordered through NHS account/NHS App, Patient Services, repeat prescription request form, post or by visiting the surgery. It also says patients can usually collect a prescription 3 working days, or 72 hours, after ordering, while the separate online request page says to allow 2 working days.

Patient Services
Use the official online GP system route if you have access.

Post or visit
You can post your request or visit the surgery. Clearly write medicine name, strength and quantity.
| Prescription problem | What it usually means | Practical next step |
|---|---|---|
| Medicine not showing online | It may not be on repeat, may need review, may be too early, or may be an acute medicine. | Use the prescription question route and include medicine name, dose and reason. |
| Pharmacy says nothing is ready | The request may still be processing, sent elsewhere, or not issued. | Check NHS App, nominated pharmacy and request date before contacting the surgery. |
| Oral contraceptive repeat | The official prescription page says to book with the practice nurse for oral contraceptive repeat medication. | Ask reception for the correct nurse appointment or review route. |
| Old or unused medicines | The official page says not to put old medicine in household bins or flush it. | Take old medicines to the pharmacy you got them from or bring them to the surgery. |
| Medicine side effects | Pharmacists can answer many medicine questions. | Ask your local pharmacist first unless symptoms are serious. |
Pharmacy, nominated pharmacy and minor illness advice
The official prescriptions page says patients need to choose a pharmacy to collect prescriptions from, called nominating a pharmacy. It also explains that pharmacists can advise on minor illnesses such as coughs, colds, sore throats, tummy trouble, aches and pains, and medicines you can buy without prescription.
| Need | Best route | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Nominated pharmacy | Set or change it through the app or website where you order prescriptions, or through a pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions. | Helps your prescription go to the right pharmacy. |
| Minor illness | Ask a pharmacist for coughs, colds, sore throat, tummy trouble, aches and pains. | Often faster than a GP appointment. |
| Private room | Many pharmacies have a private room. | You can discuss sensitive medicine questions more privately. |
| Late or weekend pharmacy | Use NHS Find a Pharmacy. | Pharmacy opening hours are different from GP opening hours. |
Test results, blood tests and hospital results
Newbury Green lists test results as one of the services patients can manage online. Many patients can view test results through NHS account/NHS App or Patient Services once access is enabled. The key question is who ordered the test: GP-ordered tests and hospital-ordered tests may have different follow-up routes.
If a hospital consultant ordered it, the hospital clinic may need to explain the result.
NHS account, NHS App or Patient Services may show results and record information.
Some results need review before they are visible or explained.
If symptoms get worse while waiting, use GP, NHS 111 or 999 depending on severity.
Sick notes, fit notes and WorkWell support
The official sick-note page says if you have been off sick for more than 7 days, you can phone after 9am to book an appointment for your first sick note. If you need an extension, use the sick-note request form. If you have been off sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence and self-certification applies.

Extension

Referrals, self-referrals and “do I need a GP appointment?”
The official appointments page says it may be worth checking the referrals page before requesting an appointment, to see whether a surgery appointment is needed for the service you require. This matters because some services may allow self-referral, while others need GP assessment.
Ask if referral is needed
Not every issue needs a GP appointment before referral. Some support routes can be accessed directly.
Give useful details
Say what service you need, what symptoms you have, and whether you have already seen hospital, physio, optician, dentist or pharmacy.
