If you contact us during core hours (08:00–18:30), your request will be reviewed the same day and actioned based on the information you provide. This may include informing you of the next steps, booking an appointment, offering advice, signposting to another service, or requesting further details.

This system is for routine and non-urgent medical or admin request only.   

If you need more urgent help, call your GP on 01538 399008. If your GP practice is closed, visit NHS 111 online or call 111. In an emergency call 999

Appointments are usually available from 8.00am to 12.30pm and 2.00pm to 5.20pm.

Enhanced Access and Out of Hour Appointments are available for patients within the Leek and Biddulph Primary Care Network.  These appointments are available from 4pm to 8pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 2pm on Saturdays and 9am to 12pm on Sundays.  The reception team will offer and book you one of these appointments and advise you of the location of the appointment where you need to attend.  This is not a walk in service.

You will most likely be seen by a clinician from another practice who can access your medical records, order tests and investigations and refer you on if required.

Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible. In this respect, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10am.

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls.

Sometimes home visits are also performed by our Nurse Practitioner, Community Matron or District Nurses, who may call the doctor out if required.

However you choose to contact us, we may offer you a consultation:

• by phone
• face to face at the surgery
• on a video call
• by text or email

Appointments by phone, video call or by text or email can be more flexible and often means you get help sooner.

If you cannot attend an appointment for any reason please inform us as soon as possible in order for us to give the slot to someone else.

To cancel your appointment:

• use your  NHS Account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
• using the GP online system – Patient Access
• phone us on 01538 399008 (option 2), Monday to Friday from 8am
• reply CANCEL to your appointment reminder text message
