Urgent or Same Day Appointments
The Practice operates an Acute Illness appointment system for urgent, acute medical issues. These appointments run throughout the day by specially trained Nurses and Doctors. When you telephone the surgery, a member of the reception team will ask you a small number of questions relating to your presenting medical problem.
The Doctors have asked the team to do this to ensure the best outcome and treatment.
Extended Hours opening
As part of developing Primary Care in Stockport we have extended the opening hours we offer for routine appointments.
The Practice is open from 7:30am everyday for routine GP appointments. We offer routine GP appointments after 6:30pm on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, and routine Nurse appointments after 6:30pm on Wednesdays.
Chaperones
It is Practice policy to offer a chaperone for any intimate examination, where the patient may feel vulnerable or where the doctor may decide a chaperone is needed. More information about our chaperone policy is Chaperone Policy.
Medical Students
For the past few years the Practice has developed a strong link with Manchester University Medical School and we welcome medical students on a regular basis. If you do not wish for the student to be present during your consultation with either the Gp or nursing team, then please let the receptionist or GP/nurse know.
Cancelling Appointments
If you have booked an appointment that is no longer required or you cannot attend for whatever reason, then please contact the practice or cancel it online as soon as possible so that we can make this appointment available to other patients.
Appointment Reminder Service
The Practice uses a text messaging service to remind patients of upcoming appointments. The service is 2 way and if you no longer need the appointment you can text back CANCEL (texts cost standard network rate) to make the appointment available for other patients. Please only use this word.
We may periodically use this service to alert patients to important news about our services such as reminders about flu clinics (to eligible patients).
In order to use this service, please ensure that the practice has your up to date mobile telephone number. If you do not wish to be contacted in this way, then let the reception staff know and we will indicate this on your records.
Home Visits
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 10:00.
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.
A patient is not housebound if he or she is able to leave their home environment with minimal assistance e.g. unassisted/assisted visits to the doctor, dentist, hairdresser, supermarket, bingo, public house etc.
You can also be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.
