Who Are the Doctors — and What Do the NHS Review Numbers Really Mean?
Leigh View’s current practice team page names ten doctors, while a fresh August 2026 NHS recruitment advert describes an 11-GP team at full recruitment. Those two statements are not necessarily contradictory: the practice was actively recruiting when the advert was published.
Patient experience also needs context. GP Patient Survey percentages, CQC inspection ratings and anonymous online reviews measure different things and should not be blended into one artificial star score.
Doctors Currently Listed by Leigh View
The practice’s current Practice365 Meet the Team page lists the following doctors. This is a stronger source for current names than the much older 2016 CQC inspection staffing list.
Search results and old clinic pages can retain former staff names long after a team changes. For the latest doctor list before requesting continuity with a specific GP, use Leigh View’s live Meet the Team page.
How the Current Practice Team Is Organised
The live team page shows that Leigh View is not only a list of GPs. Patients may also deal with nurses, healthcare assistants, care navigators, prescription staff and administrators depending on the task.
Practice nurses
Joanne, Olivia and Kelly are currently listed in the nursing team.
Healthcare assistants
Claire, Tracy, Katie and Kryssie are listed in the healthcare team.
Prescription lead
Philippa is currently listed as the practice’s Prescription Lead.
Care navigation
A dedicated care-navigation team supports patients in reaching the most appropriate service rather than treating every request as a GP-only task.
Continuity of care matters at Leigh View
Leigh View’s August 2026 GP recruitment material says patients have a named GP and that each GP has a personal list. The practice also describes weekly clinical meetings on Thursday mornings and experience supporting GP training placements.
A named GP does not guarantee that the named doctor will personally handle every appointment. Urgency, leave, working pattern and the type of service needed can all affect who sees you.
NHS Reviews: Use Survey Evidence Instead of Invented Star Ratings
When people search for “Leigh View Medical Centre NHS reviews” they may be looking for three quite different things: patient experience, formal inspection evidence, or individual online comments.
The national GP Patient Survey is run by Ipsos on behalf of NHS England. The 2026 survey results were published on 9 July 2026.
The dated practice-level figures below are from the 2025 GP Patient Survey and remain useful context because the percentages can be tied to published NHS England open data. They are not presented as 2026 star ratings.
For another example of how to separate GP Patient Survey evidence, CQC findings and online comments, see the Cambrian Medical Centre doctors and NHS patient-feedback guide .
How to Read Leigh View Reviews Without Being Misled
| Source | What it tells you | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| GP Patient Survey | Structured patient-experience questions using a defined survey method. | That every registered patient had the same experience. |
| CQC | Regulation, inspection, governance and quality domains. | How fast the phone was answered this morning. |
| NHS appointment statistics | Recorded appointment timing, volume and appointment type. | How difficult a particular patient found it to request care. |
| Public review websites | Individual patient stories and recurring themes. | Clinical quality for every patient or service. |
Our Falcon Road Medical Centre doctors and NHS reviews guide uses the same evidence-first approach to patient feedback.
CQC: Good Overall, With an Older Inspection Date
CQC currently lists Leigh View Medical Practice as a GP practice and displays an overall rating of Good.
All five domains
Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led are currently displayed as Good.
Inspection report
The report shown on the current CQC profile was published on 15 November 2016.
Later monitoring
CQC reviewed available information on 6 July 2023 and said it had not found evidence requiring the rating to be reassessed at that stage.
CQC currently registers services including treatment of disease, disorder or injury, diagnostic and screening procedures, family planning, maternity and midwifery services and surgical procedures.
What Recent 2026 Appointment Data Can — and Cannot — Tell You
Published NHS England appointment data for July 2026 records 6,118 appointments at Leigh View Medical Practice.
How to Request GP Help at Leigh View
Current team and recruitment information confirms that Leigh View delivers face-to-face surgery consultations, telephone consultations, home visits and continuity through named-GP lists.
Because the practice’s public website can change its online front door, start from the current Leigh View site rather than relying on an old saved booking link found in search results.
GP problem, nurse care, prescription, test result or administration.
Start from the practice homepage or call reception.
Care navigation may direct you to a GP, nurse, HCA or another service.
Confirm date, clinician, consultation format and location.
Open the official Leigh View site
Use Leigh View Medical Practice’s website to find the appointment route currently in use.
Use reception if the online route does not fit your task
Call 0113 253 7628 when you need booking help, continuity with a named GP or clarification about which clinician you should see.
Tell the team when continuity matters
Leigh View describes named-GP personal lists. If your request relates to an ongoing issue already being managed by a particular clinician, say so when requesting care.
Do not wait for routine GP access in an emergency
Use NHS 111 for urgent non-life-threatening help when appropriate and 999 for a life-threatening emergency.
Why You May See Two Leigh View Telephone Numbers
Official and authoritative public sources currently show both 0113 253 7628 and 0113 253 7629.
This number appears repeatedly in Leigh View’s own practice documents and in current NHS-derived practice data. It is the first-call number used in this guide.
CQC currently displays this number on the active Leigh View regulatory profile.
Repeat Prescriptions and Online GP Services
Leigh View’s current team page lists a dedicated Prescription Lead, and the August 2026 GP recruitment information says the practice has a dedicated prescription lead handling many repeat scripts, hospital-discharge prescription queries and medication queries.
Historic official Leigh View information also documents online booking and repeat-prescription services. For the live 2026 ordering method, use the current practice portal or your supported NHS App / online GP service rather than an old saved URL.
Repeat medicine
Use the currently supported practice/NHS online route where available.
Medication query
A dedicated prescription function exists within the wider practice team, so a GP appointment may not be the first administrative step.
Medication review
Follow any review request shown by the practice before expecting a repeat medicine to continue indefinitely.
For a nearby Leeds example with a fully documented NHS App repeat-prescription workflow, see our Colton Mill Medical Centre repeat prescription and NHS App guide .
Useful Services Published by Leigh View
Leigh View’s current Practice365 clinic archive still publishes a broad range of primary-care services. Some individual clinic pages are older than the current team list, so use the live practice route to confirm the clinician and appointment before travel.
NHS Health Check
Leigh View publishes NHS Health Check access for eligible adults and directs patients to reception to arrange the appointment.
Screening
The practice publishes information on national screening routes and local follow-up through general practice.
Sexual health & contraception
Contraception services are published, including procedures that require a clinician with the relevant training.
Mental health
Leigh View signposts local adult and child mental-health support and provides GP access when clinical assessment is needed.
Child health
The practice supports child-health checks and immunisation appointments.
Non-NHS reports
Private forms, certificates and reports may attract charges and can require substantially longer processing than routine NHS care.
Leigh View Publishes Specific Support for Carers
The practice asks patients to tell the team when they have an unpaid caring role so that this can be recorded and appropriate support offered.
- Eligible carers may be offered seasonal vaccination support.
- The practice describes regular health-check support for carers.
- More flexible appointments may be considered where caring responsibilities affect access.
- Leigh View signposts specialist carer organisations and support services.
Communication Needs Can Be Recorded in Your GP Record
Leigh View’s Accessible Information Standard policy says staff should identify, record and flag patients’ communication needs in the clinical record.
Examples can include a preferred communication format, communication support or another reasonable adjustment.
The practice policy says relevant communication information should be coded and visible to staff.
When referring to another NHS or social-care organisation, the practice policy describes asking permission to share relevant communication needs.
Registering as a New Leigh View Patient

Use the current registration link shown there rather than submitting personal details through a directory.
Complete the registration information carefully
Give accurate personal, address and previous-GP information requested by the official registration process.
Wait for the practice to confirm registration
