Haydock Medical Centre Phone Number: Why Two Numbers Appear

| 01744 612553 | Old Whint Surgery number shown on the official test-results page. | Use only where the official page or your appointment/result instruction relates to Old Whint Surgery. |
| 111 | NHS urgent non-emergency route when the surgery is closed. | Use when urgent but not life-threatening and you cannot wait for GP opening. |
| 999 | Emergency route. | Use for life-threatening symptoms or immediate danger. |

Rapid Health Appointments: What to Do Step by Step
Modality St Helens encourages patients to use Rapid Health for online appointment requests. The goal is not just “book appointment”; it is giving enough information so the team can route you safely.
Start online where suitable
Use Rapid Health / Submit a Request Online from the official Modality St Helens appointment page for non-emergency GP help.
Write one main problem
Include symptoms, when they started, what changed today, current medicines, allergies, and whether you are available for a phone call.
Phone if you cannot use online access

Use reception for access help

Do not use routine forms for emergencies
Use 999 for life-threatening symptoms. Use 111 for urgent non-emergency help when the practice is closed.
Repeat Prescriptions: NHS App, NHS Login and Patient Access
The official prescriptions page snippet says patients can use NHS Online Login to view current repeat medication and order the required items. Patient Access is also listed.
| Prescription task | Best route | Prepare this | Avoid this mistake |
|---|---|---|---|
| Routine repeat medicine | NHS account / NHS App where enabled. | Medicine name, strength, dose and nominated pharmacy. | Waiting until the last tablet before ordering. |
| Patient Access user | Use Patient Access repeat-medication ordering if linked. | Login details and exact repeat item. | Ordering old medicine you no longer need. |

| Urgent medicine when closed | NHS 111 urgent medicine route where appropriate. | Medicine box, dose, pharmacy and NHS number if known. | Using 999 for routine repeat medicine. |
Test Results: Real Waiting Times and When to Call
