Know When to Call, Where to Go and When the Surgery Closes
Leach Heath Medical Centre is an NHS GP surgery in Rubery, south-west Birmingham. Its current practice website lists the surgery as open 8:00am–6:30pm Monday to Friday, with Saturday and Sunday closed.
Extended evening and Saturday GP appointments also exist through Our Health Partnership hubs, but those are separate Enhanced Access appointments and should not be mistaken for ordinary Leach Heath building hours.

Leach Heath belongs to Our Health Partnership, which publishes an Enhanced Access service using dedicated hubs.
Enhanced Access appointments are published from 6:30pm to 8:00pm Monday to Friday.
OHP publishes Enhanced Access hub appointments from 9:00am to 5:00pm.
OHP uses hubs including Lordswood, College Green and Manor, and some appointments can be virtual.
How to Book an Appointment
Leach Heath’s current digital practice pages still publish GP online services / Patient Access for supported appointment booking and cancellation.
Sign in to the supported GP online service.
Use the appointment options actually available to your account.
Call reception on 0121 453 3516.
Note the time, clinician and consultation format.
Start at Leach Heath’s current website
Use the current Leach Heath Medical Centre website and choose the relevant patient or GP-help route.
Use Patient Access if your account is already linked
The practice says registered online-service users can book and cancel supported appointments through Patient Access.
If no appropriate slot appears, phone the practice
An empty Patient Access calendar does not prove that every clinical route is unavailable. Call reception and explain what help you need.

Urgent Same-Day GP Help
Leach Heath’s current FAQ says patients who need a doctor urgently should telephone the practice and explain that the problem is urgent.
Call 0121 453 3516 and give the receptionist enough information for the practice to route the request safely.
The practice FAQ describes same-day access for urgent GP problems and clinician triage for later requests.
Call 999 for a life-threatening emergency rather than waiting for a GP appointment.

Repeat Prescriptions: Online Ordering and Three Working Days
Leach Heath’s published online-services page says repeat prescriptions can be ordered through GP online services / Patient Access.
Sign in to your linked online GP service
Open the repeat-medication section rather than sending a general email.
Select only the medicines you need
Check medicine names and quantities carefully before submitting.
Check your nominated pharmacy
Leach Heath’s published guidance says prescriptions are sent for collection through the patient’s nominated pharmacy.
Allow the published processing period
The practice currently says repeat prescriptions should be ready at the nominated pharmacy within three working days.
Medical Records and Test Results Through Online Services
Leach Heath publishes Patient Access routes for both blood results and medical-record access.
Test results
Supported online access can show test results once they are available to the patient account.
Record information
Published practice guidance says patients may view information including medication, allergies, vaccinations, previous illnesses and clinical correspondence.
Extra access may be required
The practice notes that patients may need to request permission before some medical-record and test-result functions become visible.
Leach Heath Is Currently Accepting New Patients
The current NHS profile states that Leach Heath Medical Centre is accepting new patients.
The practice registration page also gives a useful reminder of the national GP-registration rules:
- You do not need proof of ID simply to register.
- You do not need proof of address simply to register.
- You do not need proof of immigration status simply to register.
- You do not need an NHS number simply to register.
Check the practice catchment area
Leach Heath publishes a practice-area map and asks applicants to check the catchment before registering.

Wait for the admin team to process it
Form submission is the start of registration; keep an eye out for any further practice instructions.
Home Visits Are for Patients Who Are Housebound
Leach Heath’s published FAQ says home visits are available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.
The practice asks patients to telephone before midday for a home-visit request.
Reception needs enough information for the request to be routed to the duty clinician.
Requests after midday are passed to the duty doctor, who decides whether and when a visit is appropriate.
Useful NHS Services Published by the Practice
Leach Heath’s patient information currently signposts a broad range of GP and nurse-led tasks rather than expecting every problem to go directly to a doctor.

The practice publishes antenatal care delivered alongside local midwifery services.
Long-term conditions
The patient portal includes routes for medication review, general health checks and long-term-condition reviews.

Self-referral services
The practice website includes local self-referral and hospital-choice information.

CQC currently lists the service as OHP-Leach Heath Medical Centre, also known as Leach Heath Medical Centre, and identifies Our Health Partnership as the provider.
Overall rating

Latest assessment report
CQC published its latest assessment report on 7 May 2024.
Equity of access
CQC assessed equity of access in March 2024 and retained a Good rating for Responsive.

A Birmingham comparison using current CQC and NHS patient-access evidence is available in our Yardley Green Medical Centre guide .
