Important Information - All in and out bound telephone calls are now recorded across all our sites
Appointments can be made over the phone or in person at our reception desk.
Many of our patients will book to see a doctor or nurse on a regular basis. However, we do not see enough of some of our registered patients. If you are between the ages of:
18-74 - we recommend that if you have not seen a doctor or nurse within the last 3 yearsbook a routine appointment.
Over 75 - if you have not seen a doctor or nurse in the last year-book a routine appointment for a health review.
Medication reviews-if you have not had a review of your repeat medications in the last year-book a routine appointment for a review with our Pharmacist.
Pill Checks- if you need a repeat of your Contraception pill you will be asked to make an appointment for a pill check to check you vitals.
Health Reviews-If you suffer from Chronic ailments such as Diabetes, COPD, Asthma, Hypertension, Mental Health Issues or CHF you will be invited in for an annual Health Care Check.
We appreciate that many of our patients work or are in education full time. Therefore we offer appointments before or after work hours as well as booking of routine appointments up to 8 weeks in advance. Patients will receive confirmation via text of the booking as well as a reminder close to the day of the appointment.
For more urgent medical needs that cannot wait for a routine appointment we ask that you ring us between 8 and 9am or come into the surgery on the day to book the appointment. While we cannot guarantee a specific doctor or time we will do our best to accommodate you on the day.
We have priority on the day appointments for children who are unwell and a full range of nursing services as well.
We have access to Routine appointments and repeat prescriptions though our online Patient Access Portal. Please see reception for set up with an online login and password as well as instructions to help you.
We encourage where possible, all our patients to attend the surgery to see a doctor. Home visits are only for patients who are housebound, terminally ill or frail and there is a medical need. Transportation issues are not a reason for a home visit.
Please ring the surgery before 11:00am to book same day home visits. Requests made after this time will be made on the following working day.
Please provide as much information as you can to our reception team and ensure that your contact details are up to date.
Please note there is no guarantee that a specific doctor will visit you at home and the time is determined by clinical workload and urgency of request.
If you need to speak to a doctor or nurse rather than attend an appointment, please ask for a telephone consultation. These requests are allocated as an appointment within the surgery and therefore are for 10 minutes and for one patient with one query. Please be aware that many medical concerns cannot be diagnosed over the phone and therefore you may still be required to come in to attend an appointment. If you wish to speak with a doctor or nurse regarding another family member or a patient who is not yourself, we cannot discuss any medical issues without prior written consent from the patient.
If you have a life threatening medical emergency please dial 999.
If you require medical attention when the practice is closed, please phone 111 to access NHS Direct.

The introduction of Universal Credit causes some unexpected complications for couples if one is over pension age and the other partner is still below the pension age. This only applies to new claims. Existing payments from Pension Credit made before Universal Credit started in Wolverhampton will continue unaffected even if one partner is still below their own pension age.
What used to happen? Previously, for new Pension Credit claims, both members of a couple could be entitled to Pension Credit from the date when the older member reached their own pension age.
What has changed? Now that Universal Credit is introduced to our area postcodes, both members of a couple must have reached their own pension ages before you can claim Pension Credit. If you try to claim Pension Credit when one of you is below their pension age, you could be directed to claim Universal Credit and the younger partner will be expected to seek work (unless they are sick or a Carer etc.). The usual 6 week delays in first payment of Universal Credit and interruptions to housing benefits etc. will also apply.
We understand that letters are being received by individuals which invite them to claim Pension Credit when they reach their own pension age. These letters wont have taken into account the circumstances of partners etc. But if their partner is younger and fits into one of the above categories then please consider if you fit into one of the above options. If in any doubt, contact the carers team and ask for further advice from before you make any new claims to Pension credit if you have a younger partner who is below their pension age.
