Porter Brook Medical Centre phone number: who should you call?
The main practice number is useful, but the best route depends on what you need: urgent appointment, routine request, prescription, registration, accessibility support or help when the surgery is closed.
Main practice number
Call 0114 263 6100. The official contact page says lines open from 8am to 6:30pm. Have your full name, date of birth and best call-back number ready.
Online form route
The practice contact page says patients can use an online form for routine non-urgent appointments, medication queries and administration requests.

When the surgery is closed, call the daytime number for redirection or use NHS 111 online/call 111 if you need medical help now. Call 999 for emergencies.
Call script for same-day GP help
Porter Brook Medical Centre opening hours: is it open today?
The official contact page lists Porter Brook Medical Centre reception opening times as Monday to Friday, 8am to 6:30pm, and closed Saturday and Sunday. Always check official notices for bank holidays, training closures or temporary service updates.
Weekday reception hours
Monday to Friday: 8am to 6:30pm. The practice phone line is also listed as open during this same core window.
Extended access
The practice website says extended access remote and face-to-face appointments may be offered at the Porter Brook site on selected mornings and Wednesday evenings.
Weekend closure
The official contact page lists Saturday and Sunday as closed. Use NHS 111 when closed if you need medical help that cannot wait.
Important: “Open today” and “appointment available today” are not the same thing. A GP surgery may be open but still need to triage your request before offering a same-day appointment.
Porter Brook Medical Centre appointments: urgent, routine and same-day GP routes
The official appointments page says urgent appointments Monday to Friday should be requested by calling 0114 263 6100. The team will ask what you need help with and use that information to choose the most suitable doctor, nurse or health professional.
For urgent help Monday to Friday
Call 0114 263 6100. Explain briefly what is happening, when it started, whether symptoms are worsening and whether you are available for a call-back.
For routine non-urgent requests
Use the online form where appropriate. This can be useful for routine appointments, admin requests, medication queries or non-urgent matters that do not need immediate telephone triage.
Accept the right appointment type
The practice may offer phone, face-to-face, video, text or email consultation depending on clinical need. A phone appointment can still lead to face-to-face review if needed.
If the practice is closed
Use NHS 111 online or call 111. For serious medical or mental health emergencies where life is at risk, call 999 immediately.
Appointment tip: Say what you actually need help with, not just “I need to see a doctor.” Porter Brook may route you to a GP, nurse, advanced practitioner, pharmacist, physiotherapist or other clinician depending on your symptoms.
Porter Brook Medical Centre doctors: GP partners, salaried GPs and wider team
The official team page lists GP partners, salaried GPs, nurse practitioners, pharmacy staff, practice nurses, healthcare assistants and phlebotomists. This means your appointment may be with the most suitable professional, not always a GP.
GP partners listed
- Dr Julie Endacott
- Dr Matthew Lambert
- Dr Kirsty Goddard
- Dr Patrick Conwill
Salaried GPs listed
- Dr Lindsey Thomas
- Dr Caroline Diacon
- Dr Alyson Evans
- Dr Terry Hudsen
- Dr Emily Blower
- Dr Alex Worthington
- Dr Steve Moore
- Dr Andrew Pearson
- Dr Lydia Fairhurst
- Dr Dominic Elliott
- Dr Mike Thackray
Wider clinical team you may see
The practice team also includes advanced/nurse practitioners, pharmacy staff, nurse associates, practice nurses, healthcare assistants and phlebotomists. This matters because many common GP requests can be handled faster by the right clinician rather than waiting specifically for a doctor.
Named GP note: The practice registration page says all patients have a named accountable doctor, but you can still talk to or book with other doctors or nurses, not only your named GP.
