Decision hub: eConsult, phone, iHUB, pharmacy, NHS 111 or 999?

Use this before submitting a form or travelling to the building.

Call 999 now

Chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing difficulty, collapse, heavy bleeding, severe burns, severe allergic reaction, seizure not stopping, overdose, not responding or immediate danger to life.

Use eConsult

Best first route for many GP requests, administrative help, sick notes, test-result discussions, chronic disease reviews, contraception reviews, medication reviews and self-help advice.

Call reception

Use phone if eConsult asks you to call, you cannot use online forms, the problem feels urgent, you need interpreter/access support, or you need help choosing the correct route.

Ask about iHUB

Islington registered NHS patients may be offered GP or nurse appointments through iHUB in evenings and weekends, excluding home visits.

Use pharmacy

Minor illness advice, medicine side-effect questions, over-the-counter treatment and some urgent medicine supply issues may be quicker through a pharmacy.

Use NHS 111

When the surgery is closed and the problem is urgent but not life-threatening, or if you are unsure what service is safest.

Opening hours, consulting times and the “phone vs appointment” difference

Reception opening, consulting sessions and iHUB appointments are different. Check which one you need before phoning or travelling.

Official opening hours Official appointment system Official iHUB page

Day / service	Official detail	Patient tip
Reception Monday	8:00am–6:30pm	Use eConsult first where possible.
Reception Tuesday	8:00am–6:30pm	Tuesday afternoon consulting runs later than Monday/Friday.
Reception Wednesday	8:00am–6:30pm	Wednesday afternoon is duty doctor service, not bookable appointments.
Reception Thursday	8:00am–6:30pm	Consulting times show late appointments into the evening.
Reception Friday	8:00am–6:30pm	Do not leave prescriptions late before weekend.
Weekends	Practice reception closed.	Use iHUB if available or NHS 111 for urgent non-emergency care.
iHUB	Mon–Fri 6:30pm–8pm; Sat/Sun 8am–8pm.	Ask the practice during opening hours; if closed, the phone system may connect you to iHUB/out-of-hours handling.
Before 8am / after 6:30pm	Small number of pre-booked GP telephone consultations are listed.	Ask practice, do not assume walk-in or same-day availability.

Islington timing tip: if your issue is not urgent, avoid phoning at the busiest opening moments. Use eConsult with clear details and keep your phone available for triage response.

Appointments: micro-step guide

The official page says appointment requests should be made through eConsult, with reception help for people who cannot complete online forms.

Open eConsult Official appointment page Call reception

Check emergency signs first.
Use 999 for life-threatening symptoms. Do not wait for online triage.

Start with eConsult.
Choose adult health problem, child health problem, admin/sick notes/test results, or review/medication/contraception category.

Describe one clear issue.
Include what started, when it started, severity, medicines tried, red flags, pregnancy/frailty/child concern, and best contact number.

Wait for triage.
The official appointment page says requests are usually triaged by a GP the same day, but sometimes the next working day.

Call if eConsult tells you to.
If eConsult asks you to speak to the practice, call 020 7288 9320.

Need help using online?
Reception can assist patients who do not have internet access or cannot complete an online request.

Phone or eConsult script

Hello, my name is [name]. Date of birth: [date]. I am registered at St Peter’s Street Medical Practice. I need help with [one clear problem]. It started [when]. It is [getting worse/not improving]. I have tried [medicine/self-care]. I am worried because [reason]. Is this best for eConsult, GP, nurse, pharmacy, iHUB, NHS 111 or 999?

eConsult: what it can do and what to avoid

eConsult is not only for GP appointments. The practice page says it is also used for administrative tasks, chronic disease reviews, contraception pill reviews, medication reviews and self-help advice.

Use eConsult for	What to write	Do not use it for
New health problem	Symptoms, start date, severity, self-care tried and why you are worried.	Life-threatening symptoms; call 999.
Child health problem	Child age, symptoms, temperature, eating/drinking, nappies/urine, rash, breathing, duration.	Severe illness or breathing difficulty; use urgent/emergency route.
Sick note	Exact dates, reason, whether hospital or GP has already assessed you.	Urgent medical appointment just for paperwork.
Test-result discussion	Test type, test date, who requested it and what you need explained.	Hospital test interpretation when hospital ordered the investigation.
Chronic disease review	Asthma, diabetes, COPD, high blood pressure readings, symptoms and medicine questions.	Severe deterioration needing same-day urgent care.
Medication review	Medicine name, dose, side effects, remaining supply and pharmacy.	Emergency prescription if you have no medicine left today; call practice/pharmacy/111.
Contraception pill review	Current pill, side effects, BP if known, missed pills, pregnancy risk or urgent concerns.	Immediate emergency contraception need; pharmacy/sexual health may be quicker.

Form-writing trick: write the outcome you need clearly: “I need advice,” “I need a GP review,” “I need a medication review,” “I need a sick note from date to date,” or “I need to discuss an abnormal result.”

iHUB extended GP and nurse appointments

Islington registered NHS patients can request GP or nurse appointments through iHUB. The service offers the same services as your usual GP, excluding home visits.

Official iHUB page Call practice

iHUB item	Official detail	What patients should know
Weekday hours	Monday–Friday 6:30pm–8pm.	Ask the practice during opening hours about the next available telephone appointment.
Weekend hours	Saturday and Sunday 8am–8pm.	Useful when registered with an Islington NHS GP and routine GP/nurse help cannot wait for weekday.
Locations	Andover Medical Centre N7, Islington Central Medical Centre N1, Ritchie Street Group Practice N1.	Check exact appointment mode/location before travelling.
Record access	You need to consent for iHUB clinician to access full medical record.	Ask what will be shared and confirm consent during booking.
After the appointment	iHUB sends a digital consultation report to your registered GP.	Any tests ordered by iHUB are sent to your registered GP surgery.
Exclusion	Home visits are excluded.	Use normal practice/NHS 111 route for home visit or out-of-hours urgent needs.

Local tip: when offered iHUB, ask: “Is this telephone or face-to-face, which location, what time, and do I need to bring medication/list/results?”

Repeat prescriptions: routes, deadline and common mistakes

The practice lists several repeat prescription routes and says requests submitted before midday take 2 working days to process. Requests after midday are not reviewed until the next working day.

Official prescription page NHS App login Patient Access Call if urgent under 2 working days

Form

Online form

Use the official online prescription form where available. The practice contacts you only if there is a query.

NHS

NHS App

Use NHS App to see available repeat medicines, request repeat prescriptions and choose a nominated pharmacy.

Patient Access

Use Patient Access if already registered for online GP services.

Nominated pharmacy

You can arrange for a pharmacy to request repeats on your behalf. Confirm with the pharmacy before relying on this route.

Prescription issue	Official detail	Best action
Routine repeat	Online form, NHS App, Patient Access, written request or pharmacy request.	Order before you run low.
Before midday	2 working days to process.	Submit in the morning where possible.
After midday	Not reviewed until next working day.	Do not submit late Friday expecting quick weekend supply.
Urgent under 2 working days	Practice says to call 020 7288 9320.	Explain medicine name, dose, remaining supply and pharmacy.
New regular medicine	Can be added to repeat list after discussion with GP or practice pharmacist.	Book/request medication review and provide hospital letter if relevant.
Medication review due	Repeat patients are asked to speak to doctor, pharmacist or nurse at least once a year.	Book review early to avoid prescription delays.
New patient repeat medicines	Practice says new patients need GP or pharmacist discussion before repeat prescriptions can be issued.	Bring medication list/old repeat slip when registering.

Medicine safety tip: add time for practice processing, pharmacy preparation, weekends, bank holidays and medication review blocks. If you are almost out, phone the practice/pharmacy early in the day.

Test results: NHS App, eConsult or phone — and your follow-up responsibility

The practice says patients can view test results on the NHS App. Blood-test results may take up to 7 working days to reach the practice, and the practice says patients are responsible for following up results.

Official test results page NHS App Discuss result by eConsult Call practice

Question	Practical answer	Next step
Can I see results online?	Yes, the practice says results can be viewed on NHS App.	Check NHS App before phoning.
Need to discuss with GP?	Submit eConsult to book a discussion if needed.	Include test type, date and concern.
Are results back?	You can call the practice to check.	Have test date and test type ready.
Blood-test timing	May take up to 7 working days to reach the practice.	Do not chase too early unless urgent advice was given.
Someone else calling?	Results are released only to the patient unless prior permission exists or patient cannot understand results.	Arrange consent/proxy before a carer phones.
Hospital ordered test?	Hospital/clinic that ordered it often owns follow-up.	Contact that hospital/clinic first if GP has no result or no interpretation.

Result ownership tip: before leaving any blood test, scan or hospital clinic, ask “Who ordered this test and who will explain the result?” This avoids GP-vs-hospital confusion.

Register as a new patient

NHS currently shows the surgery as accepting new patients. The practice says it accepts registrations for patients living in its St Peters Ward catchment area and usually adds patients within 3 working days after receiving the completed registration form.

Official registration page NHS online registration NHS profile

Check the catchment first.

Interpreter support: the registration page says the practice has face-to-face and telephone interpreting service access for non-English speakers. Ask reception when registering or booking.

Clinics, reviews and who may help fastest
