Appointments with a Doctor, Practitioner or Practice Nurse

The Doctors and Practice Nurses work different rotas enabling the practice to offer patients a range of appointment times. Whilst the Doctor’s and Nurse’ rotas may vary, morning and afternoon appointments are offered across the week.

Routine appointments with the doctors are of ten minute duration and can be booked in advance; currently the majority of our appointments are same day appointments which are intended for more urgent or acute cases. These same day appointments can be booked from 08:00am on a first come first served basis.

Due to the Covid19 Pandemic, most of our appointments are currently conducted via the telephone. Face to face appointments can be arranged by the clinician if it is felt to be appropriate. Thank you for your support and understanding during these difficult times.

Our receptionists may ask you the reason for your appointment. Please do not be offended by this, this is to ensure that you are seen by the appropriate clinician.

You may be seen by a non-medical practitioner such as an Urgent Care Practitioner, Physician Associate or Clinical Pharmacist. Working alongside the Doctors, these are qualified healthcare professionals who are trained to manage a wide range of conditions and problems.

Emergency appointments are also available for genuine emergencies at the discretion of the staff or duty doctor.

Appointments with the Practice Nurse or Health Care Assistant are for 5-30 minutes depending on clinical need. For example if you are having a blood test then only a 5 minute appointment will be needed. If you are a newly diagnosed diabetic then 30 minutes would be required. The reception team will help allocate the correct amount of time.

Please only discuss one problem per consultation. If you have more than one problem then please discuss with the reception about booking a longer appointment.

Patients may express a preference of practitioner, whilst we will endeavour to comply with this, it may not always be possible depending on the urgency.

BOOSTER JABS

In line with the Government’s announcement, the NHS is aiming to offer every adult the chance to book a COVID-19 booster vaccine by the end of the year. This means our practice is now prioritising the booster rollout.

As part of this, some of our routine services may be stood down temporarily to allow us to focus on protecting as many patients as possible.

We are still there for anyone who may need care for an urgent need, but would ask for patience as we support this key national priority over the coming weeks. We hope to be able to stand back up any services as soon as possible and will update this page as soon as we know more.

Please don’t forget there are many services available for you, depending on your condition. These include:

Self-care – This is the best choice to treat minor illnesses and injuries such as hangovers, coughs, colds, grazes, small cuts or sore throats. Many of these can be treated at home, simply with over-the-counter medicines and plenty of rest.
Pharmacy – Pharmacists can give advice on and treat a range of symptoms. They can support you with things such as diarrhoea, earaches, painful coughs, sticky eyes, teething and rashes.
NHS 111 – You can access 111 online or via the telephone. This is for any urgent but non-life threatening health concerns. They will be able to signpost you to the relevant service and provide advice where appropriate, or book you in to an Urgent Treatment Centre.
A&E / 999 – You should only attend A&E or dial 999 in a life-threatening emergency such as severe bleeding, breathing difficulties and severe chest pain.

If you are now eligible for your COVID-19 booster please book it as soon as you can. It is vital as many people as possible get boosted as soon as possible. Please do not ring the practice regarding your boosters, instead visit Covid-19 Vaccine | City Of Wolverhampton Council or call 119 to book an appointment or to find a walk-in clinic near you. You can also find out more about who is eligible, how the vaccine is given and other frequently asked questions. If you are a housebound patient, there is a community team which will be coming out to you to vaccinate you, so please do not contact your GP as the team will be making contact with you.
