GP Appointments

Most of the appointments can be booked on the same day. The lines open at 08:00, however the appointments are usually taken very quickly so please ensure that you call as close to 08:00 as possible to give you the best possible chance of getting an appointment; however they can also be booked online or via the NHS App as they also become available online at 08:00.

There are pre-bookable appointments specifically reserved for people who either work, for a child if their parent works, those who have a carer, or who are a carer for another person themselves, and finally should the patient require a translator who must be booked in advance. These appointments can be booked up to 6 weeks in advance.

Appointments are also pre-booked for patients who require medication and sick note reviews, as well as to discuss the results of diagnostic testing such as x-rays, MRI, ECG and blood test results

Whilst we will try to book you with the Doctor of your choice, it may not always be possible. All doctors and Locums have full access to your medical history and medication.

When the practice has reached its capacity for appointments on the day, we also have options for you to be seen in our extended access hub up at Cheetham Hill Medical Centre as well as at the GP Hub in North Manchester General Hospital (not A&E!); and if all of the additional access appointment have been taken, then we can signpost to another appropriate service to get you seen by an appropriate partner service.

Nursing team appointments

Our practice nurses and healthcare assistants are available by appointment only at the following times:

Cancellations

If you cannot attend a booked appointment, please give us as much notice as possible in order that the slot can be given to someone else. Please read the above "If you fail to attend" tab for our policy on this matter.

Online Appointments

There are also access to book appointments for the GP online, and the appointments become available at the same time as the available appointments on the phone. You can access these by registering for our online access service at:

https://patient.emisaccess.co.uk/

Although you can register online, you will only be able to have full access when we receive proof of identification, and of address. Please contact the surgery on 0161 721 4865 for any clarification needed.

Important Notice

We have over 5300 patients registered at this surgery, and we recognise that sometimes getting an appointment may not be easy, which is why we offer various alternatives

Although we understand that this may be frustrating at times, we do ask that you take into consideration that it is not the fault of the reception staff if there are no appointments left for that day. They can only offer what is available and do their best to assist you.

Thank you for your consideration and cooperation.
