Appointments

We offer a range of appointment times each day when the practice is open between 8:00am and 6:30pm, although not all clinicians are seeing patients constantly during these hours.

We are always reviewing our appointment system to ensure that we are meeting our patient demand where possible. We are currently operating a telephone triage system and you will be offered a face to face appointment if required after.

Non-urgent appointments

You can request an appointment with a doctor or other healthcare professional online (Monday to Friday).

The form is open on the website 7:30am until 3:00pm, Monday to Friday excluding bank holidays.

If you do not have access to the internet or need help completing the form please contact the practice on 0161 224 2471 and a member of our admin team will help you.

The practice clinical team consists of GPs, nurses, pharmacists, mental health practitioners, dieticians, focused care worker and an appointment could be made with any clinician.

Urgent appointments

For urgent queries please contact the practice on 0161 224 2471 and your query will be assessed, and you will be placed on our emergency triage list for the on call doctor to deal with that day. Triage is based on medical need rather than what may be convenient for you.

If you are contacting the practice regarding an emergency or anything life threatening please contact 999.

Nurse appointments

You can request a routine appointment with a nurse or healthcare assistant up to 2 weeks in advance.

If you require a medication review please complete our Medication Review form.

Enhanced access appointments

We’re here for you evenings and weekends.

Evening and weekend appointments are available at this GP practice or at an NHS service nearby.

How do I book an enhanced hours appointment?

If you need an appointment with a GP or Nurse but you are unable to book within normal practice hours, we can book you an appointment with our enhanced hours team in the local area. These appointments are available in the evenings and weekends.

Please state on the appointment request that enhanced hours is preferred, and the Triage Team will contact you to arrange this.

These appointments are held at local practices including Surrey Lodge Group Practice.

Cancelling an appointment

If you need to cancel an appointment, please complete our Cancel an Appointment form. Please ensure you cancel at least 24 hours in advance.
