Appointments: SystmConnect first, phone support if needed
The official appointment page says patients needing help for a new or ongoing medical problem should submit a request through SystmConnect. The request is reviewed on the day and signposted to the most appropriate healthcare professional.
Use 999 for danger signs and NHS 111 for urgent problems when GP surgery is not the right route.
Use it for new or ongoing medical problems, fit note requests, travel clinic requests, address/contact updates and non-NHS work.
Include what changed, when it started, symptoms, medicines tried, relevant conditions and what help you need.
You may be signposted to a GP, nurse, HCA, pharmacist, paramedic, phlebotomist or another team member.
The official appointment page says patients without internet access or unable to submit online should phone the practice for assistance.
Hello, my name is [name], date of birth [DOB]. I am registered with Three Chequers Medical Practice. I cannot use SystmConnect because [reason]. My problem/request is [one sentence]. It started [when]. Is this best handled by GP triage, nurse/HCA, pharmacist, prescription team, results line, home visit, NHS 111 or another route?
SystmConnect: what to submit and what not to use it for
SystmConnect is the practice’s online platform for clinical and admin requests. The official online-services page says you do not need an account to use SystmConnect, but you must be a registered patient at the practice.
Medical request
New or ongoing symptoms that are not immediate emergencies. Add timeline, severity, red flags, medicines tried and best contact number.
Fit note request
Use for Med 3 / sick note requests when suitable. Include exact dates, employer deadline and whether you have already been seen.
Travel clinic request
Use the Travel Clinic form. The practice asks for the travel risk assessment two months / 8 weeks before travel.
Admin request
Update contact details/address or request non-NHS work such as forms, reports and letters.
SystmOnline, Airmid and NHS App: what each one does
The official online-services page lists three digital routes. Use this table to avoid sending the wrong request.
| Tool | Officially useful for | Best patient use |
|---|---|---|
| SystmConnect | Clinical/admin requests to the practice. | Medical problems, fit notes, travel clinic, contact/address updates and non-NHS work. |
| SystmOnline | Book/cancel some appointments, order repeat prescriptions, view medical records and update address details. | Repeat medicine, online appointment tasks and GP-record access. |
| Airmid | View consultation notes, medical history, vaccination history, allergies, letters, test results and manage appointments/prescriptions. | Mobile app route for appointments, prescriptions and record viewing. |
| NHS App | Health advice, repeat prescriptions, hospital referrals, GP health record and more. | Use alongside SystmOnline/Airmid; do not assume it replaces every practice process. |
Repeat prescriptions: how to order, when to chase and dispensary rules
The official prescription page says repeat medication can be requested online, by email, by leaving a completed repeat slip at reception, or by post. It clearly says: “Sorry we do not take telephone requests.”
| Need | Best route | Exact patient action |
|---|---|---|
| Order repeat medication | SystmOnline, email, repeat slip or post. | Email prescriptions.3chequers@nhs.net or use SystmOnline where possible. |
| Prescription processing time | Official page says allow 3 working days, excluding weekends and bank holidays. | Order before the last few tablets, especially before closures. |
| Medication review due | Annual review is due during your birth month. | Book review in plenty of time because prescription clerks/dispensers cannot issue repeats if medication review has passed. |
| Dispensary query | Dispensary line Mon–Fri 10am–4pm. | Use for medication queries only, not telephone repeat requests. |
| Controlled Drugs collection | Photo ID is required. | Bring photographic identification when collecting prescriptions containing Controlled Drugs. |
| Eligible dispensing patient | Dispensary available at Endless Street, Porton & Old Sarum and Winterslow. | Check if your village/address is in the dispensing area before relying on in-house dispensing. |
Test results: SystmOnline first, results line after 2pm
The official tests-results page says the quickest way to view test results is via SystmOnline. It also says the telephone results line is available between 2pm and 5:30pm Monday to Friday; phone 01722 336 441 and use extension 3 for results.
| Question | Answer | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Fastest way? | SystmOnline. | Check your online account first if you have access. |
| Phone result timing? | 2pm–5:30pm Monday to Friday. | Call 01722 336 441 and select extension 3. |
| Hospital test? | Hospital/clinic tests are normally handled by the team that ordered them. | Contact the hospital/consultant secretary if they requested it. |
| No message received? | SMS/email reminders and result messages may not be sent every time. | Patients remain responsible for obtaining results and keeping contact details updated. |
| Need a copy? | Use online record access where available or ask the practice. | Allow admin time and identity checks where required. |
Fit notes, sick notes and certificates
The official fit-note page explains that a medical certificate must be signed by a doctor. It also says if you have not seen a practice doctor and the practice has not received information from another medical professional about the illness, you will need an appointment before a certificate can be issued.
| Situation | What the official page says | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| Off sick more than 7 days | Your employer will normally ask for a medical certificate from your GP. | Use SystmConnect/fit-note request route or book routine appointment if needed. |
| Seen by GP or hospital letter received | You may not need another GP appointment. | Complete a fit-note request form for doctor review. |
| Not seen and no medical information | The practice says you cannot get a certificate without an appointment. | Book a routine appointment, not an emergency slot for certificate purposes. |
| 7 days or less | Private non-NHS certificate may be needed if employer insists. | The official page lists a £19 charge for sickness of seven days or less. |
| Fit note expired | You need to consult the doctor again before a further certificate. | Do not use emergency appointment just for certificate renewal; fit notes can be backdated. |
Home visits: who qualifies and when to call
The official home-visit page says patients should request a visit as early as possible, preferably by 11am. Home visiting is only for patients who are housebound or have become too ill to travel to the surgery.
