Appointments

You can make an appointment by either telephoning the surgery on 01924 822273 to speak to one of our trained care navigators or by calling in to the surgery during opening hours. The care navigator will ask for a brief description of your medical problem – you do not have to give this information however this will ensure you are booked in with the most appropriate clinician.

If your problem is urgent please tell the care navigator and you will be given the earliest appointment available but please be considerate to others as each GP has a number of appointments reserved for on the day booking. These are booked on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Please remember each appointment is for 10 minutes only and are intended for one person and one issue only. If other members of the family need to be seen, or more than one issue needs to be discussed, you will need to make a separate appointment.

Our clinicians do endeavour to keep to the appointed times. However, please appreciate that sometimes clinicians are called to an emergency or need to spend more with one particular patient, causing them to run late. If you are concerned please ask a member of staff to check how the clinician is doing.

You can now use the internet to make an appointment with the GP via Online Services or the NHS App.

Both Online Services and the NHS App are a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services on your smartphone or tablet.

PATCHS Online Service – Lofthouse and The Manse Surgery

Home visits are done at the Doctor’s discretion for patients who are physically unable to come to the surgery. Lack of transport is not a valid reason to request a home visit.

To request a home visit please call the surgery between 08.00am – 11.00am. 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 the visits.

Please let us know if you are unable to keep an appointment, as this time can then be used for someone else. Please be prompt when attending appointments. Patients more than five minutes late for an appointment may not be seen and will be asked to rebook.
