Choose the Right Priory Route First
| What you need | Use this first | Exact useful detail | Avoid this mistake |
|---|---|---|---|
| New or worsening problem | Online consultation if you can use it | Requests are triaged and may lead to phone, face-to-face, advice, prescription or another service. | Do not submit a vague request without symptoms, start date and urgency. |
| Cannot use online form | Call 01926 293711 | The appointment page says reception can complete the online consultation for you; phone lines open at 8:30am. | Do not give up if you cannot use a smartphone. |
| Need urgent same-day help | Online or phone route | Clinical triage decides whether same-day phone/face-to-face or another HCP is appropriate. | Do not demand a named GP if the issue is urgent. |
| Routine planned care | Online request / practice route | Routine care may be with GP, ANP, paramedic, clinical pharmacist, nurse, HCA, pharmacy technician or social prescriber. | Do not assume every appointment must be a GP appointment. |
| Repeat prescription | NHS App / Patient Access / online services | Allow 48 hours before collecting; medication reviews are usually at least yearly. | Do not leave medication until Friday afternoon. |
| Test result query | NHS App / Patient Access / online request | If discussion is needed, the doctor calls; if no problem, you may not be contacted. | Do not call before checking your online result access. |
| Sick note | Fit note page / online request | For 7 days or less, self-certification normally applies. | Do not ask GP for a fit note during the first 7 days unless a special private/employer issue applies. |
| Home visit | Call before 10am if possible | For house-bound or terminally ill patients; doctor calls back to discuss request. | Do not use it as an ambulance substitute. |
| Closed and urgent | NHS 111 | Use 111 online or phone for urgent non-emergency help. | Do not wait until morning if symptoms worsen. |
| Emergency | 999 | Use emergency services for life-threatening symptoms. | Do not call GP reception first. |
Online Consultations and Appointment Triage
Start online if you can
The practice asks patients who can access the online consultation form to use it. This helps the team support patients who cannot use the online form.
Reception can help
If you call or visit reception, staff can complete the same online consultation form for you.
GP triage reviews the request
The request is reviewed by the triaging clinician and allocated to the most appropriate clinician or service.
Appointment type depends on need
You may receive telephone advice, face-to-face appointment, prescription, signposting, or support from another healthcare professional.
Watch messages
Keep an eye on NHS App, text messages and emails because more information may be requested or sent after an online consultation.
Cancel early
If you cannot attend, cancel as soon as possible or follow your reminder-text instructions so the slot can be used by another patient.
Opening Hours: Priory Road vs Brese Avenue
| Site / day | Listed hours | Patient planning note |
|---|---|---|
| Priory Road Monday-Friday | 8:00am-6:30pm | Main surgery site. Phone and appointment details can still depend on the specific route. |
| Priory Road Saturday/Sunday | Closed | Use NHS 111 if urgent and not life-threatening; 999 for emergencies. |
| Brese Avenue Monday-Thursday | 8:00am-5:00pm | Branch access is shorter than the main Priory Road site. |
| Brese Avenue Friday | 8:00am-12:00pm | Do not leave branch-site questions until Friday afternoon. |
| Brese Avenue weekend | Closed | Use official out-of-hours guidance. |
| Phone-line appointment note | Appointment page says phone lines open at 8:30am | Use online request first if you can; call if unable to use the form. |
Extended Access: Evening and Saturday Clinics
Weekday evenings
Extended access clinics at the Priory Medical Centre site may run Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 6:30pm-9:00pm when available.
Saturday access
Saturday clinics may run 8:00am-5:00pm, often including Saturday morning clinics from 8:00am-1:00pm.
How booking works
GP appointments in these clinics are booked by the triaging doctor during the week. HCA or nurse appointments may be pre-booked through reception.
Repeat Prescriptions: 48-Hour Rule and Medication Review
NHS App / Patient Access
The practice says online services are the easiest repeat-prescription route because they show repeat medicines and dosage.
Electronic prescribing
Most medication requests can be sent directly to your nominated pharmacy if you use electronic prescribing.
Allow 48 hours
Allow 48 hours before collecting your prescription. Pharmacy dispensing time is separate.
| Prescription issue | Best fix | Prepare this |
|---|---|---|
| Medicine not visible online | The prescriber may not have marked it as repeat for safety. | Medicine name, dose, who prescribed it, why needed. |
| Medication review due | Book review with doctor, nurse practitioner, practice nurse or clinical pharmacist. | Review date, blood test status, BP readings, side effects. |
| High Monday demand | Practice recommends routine medication reviews Tuesday-Friday. | Book before the review date on repeat slip. |
| Pharmacy says not ready | Check GP processing and pharmacy dispensing separately. | Request date, nominated pharmacy, medicine name. |
Test Results: NHS App, Patient Access and 5-Day Query Route
View online
To view test results online, you must be registered with the GP surgery and aged 16 or over. Use NHS App or Patient Access where enabled.
If result needs discussion
The practice says the doctor will call if results come back and there is a need to discuss further.
If no problem
If there are no problems with results, you will not usually be contacted.
Sick Notes / Fit Notes: 7-Day Rule
| Situation | What to do | Practical note |
|---|---|---|
| Off work 7 days or less | You normally do not need to contact your GP for a sick note. | Use self-certification through your employer. |
| Off work more than 7 days | A fit note may be issued if a doctor assesses that your health affects fitness for work. | Use the official fit-note route and include dates. |
| Hospital treatment | Hospital/specialist may be responsible for notes after treatment. | Ask the treating hospital team first. |
| Need extension | Use online consultation / fit-note request route. | Do not wait until the final day if your employer needs evidence. |
Home Visits: Who Can Request and When to Call

Home visits are available for patients who are house-bound or terminally ill.
Call before 10am

Use the official registration route
Priory Medical Centre welcomes new patients and directs applicants to register through the NHS website route from the practice page.
Named accountable GP

Preference can be requested
The practice says reasonable effort will be made if a patient requests a different named GP, but it cannot always be guaranteed.

Reviews, FFT, Patient Survey and CQC: Read This Carefully
| Review source | Useful detail | How to interpret it |
|---|---|---|
| Friends and Family Test | Official Priory FFT page shows 2026 total responses of 2,294 for Jan-May, with 90.10% rated Very Good or Good. | Good for recent patient-experience direction, but it is not the same as a full inspection. |
| GP Patient Survey | The practice says only a small sampled group is invited; in 2025, 284 surveys were sent and 92 returned. | Useful context, but sample size matters. |
| Current CQC Priory Road profile | CQC says the current Priory Road service registered on 28 October 2021 and has not been inspected yet. | Do not present this as a current βGoodβ rating. |
| Archived CQC Cape Road / Brese Avenue inspection | Archived CQC history shows previous/old site services rated Good, with published reports from 2016/2019. | Useful history only; check the current Priory Road CQC page for current status. |
| Google/third-party reviews | May include old address, wrong Priory practice, or emotional one-off experiences. | Use together with official FFT, NHS, CQC and complaints/feedback routes. |
