Use 999 for emergencies. Use “New Condition” if you may need a same-day response. Use the right admin form for fit notes, medication or test results.
NHS Login or SystmOnline can pre-fill your personal details and help you track submissions.

The response may be an appointment, same-day or later phone call, text message, pharmacy advice or another NHS service.
The official appointment page says reception can complete the form on your behalf if you cannot do it yourself.
Hello, my name is [name]. My date of birth is [date of birth]. I am registered with Walkley House & Stannington Medical Centres. I cannot complete the online form / I need help today / I need advice about which form to use. My main problem is [one clear sentence]. What is the safest next step?

Appointments, cancellations, texts and missed appointments
The official appointment page says after reviewing your online request, the practice may offer a phone consultation, face-to-face appointment, text reply, pharmacy advice or another NHS service. It also says the team will let you know within one working day what happens next.
Phone consultation
Good for advice, medication queries, review questions and problems where examination may not be needed first.
Face-to-face appointment
Used when examination, tests, injections, dressings or in-person review is clinically needed.
Text message response
Used for clear advice, instructions or admin replies. Make sure your mobile number is correct.
Cancel or rearrange
Use NHS App where possible. If the appointment is today or tomorrow, call the surgery directly.
Repeat prescriptions: NHS App, SystmOnline, paper request and 48 working hours
The official prescription page says repeat prescription requests are no longer normally accepted over the phone. The easiest route is the NHS App. Patients can also use SystmOnline medication request or paper request forms/green repeat slips in the practice letter boxes. Prescriptions are sent to the pharmacy within 48 working hours after the request is received.
NHS App
Order repeat medication any time without a phone queue. Check medicine name, dose and nominated pharmacy before submitting.
SystmOnline
Use the Medication Request tab if you are registered for online services.
Paper request
Use a paper request form or right-hand repeat slip and post it in practice letter boxes between 8am and 6:30pm.
Extra support
The official site says patients over 75, housebound patients, patients with learning disabilities and palliative care patients can continue to order by phone.
| Prescription problem | What it usually means | Practical next step |
|---|---|---|
| Medicine not showing in NHS App | It may not be on repeat, may be due for review, or may need clinician checking. | Use the Medication Request form and include medicine name and dose. |
| Pharmacy says nothing is ready | The request may still be within 48 working hours, or sent to a different pharmacy. | Check NHS App/SystmOnline and your nominated pharmacy. |
| Possible medication reaction | This is clinical, not a routine prescription request. | Use New Condition form, NHS 111 or 999 depending on severity. |
| Medication review due | The practice may need to review medicines regularly. | Respond when invited so future repeats are not delayed. |
NHS App, SystmOnline, Airmid and medical record access
The official online services page says patients can use the NHS App, SystmConnect and SystmOnline. SystmOnline can allow access to parts of the medical record, repeat prescriptions and appointments, and the practice recommends Airmid for smartphone access.
NHS App
Use for prescriptions, appointments, test results and health information where enabled.
SystmOnline
Links to the practice clinical system and can support records, repeats and appointments.
Airmid app
Recommended by the practice for smartphone access to SystmOnline services.
Security
Do not share NHS login codes, passwords or medical record access with unofficial websites or callers.
Helpful NHS App video for prescriptions and online access
This video is useful if you want to understand how the NHS App can help with repeat prescriptions and GP record access. Always follow Walkley House & Stannington’s own online form and prescription instructions.
Test results: NHS App, online form and hospital tests
The official contact page says the practice does not contact patients when results are normal and cannot provide results unless the practice requested them. The test-results page explains that if results show more tests or treatment are needed, the practice will contact you. Reviewed results can be viewed in the NHS App or queried online.
GP-ordered tests and hospital-ordered tests usually have different follow-up routes.
The practice asks patients not to call for results where they can view them online.
Use it if you cannot access results through NHS App.
Contact the consultant’s secretary or hospital department directly.
Do not wait silently for results. Use the online form, NHS 111 or 999 depending on severity.
Sick notes and fit notes
The official fit-note page says you do not need medical evidence for sickness of 7 days or less and can self-certify. If you have been ill for more than 7 days, you may need a Fitness to Work certificate. If you already had a fit note for the same illness, the doctor may not need to see you again before issuing an additional note.
7 days or less
Use self-certification. Your employer should not normally ask for GP evidence.
More than 7 days
Use the online Fit Note form. A doctor may call you or arrange an appointment.
Extension needed
If it is the same illness, complete the additional sick note form; you may not need another appointment.
Hospital care
If hospital treated you, ask the hospital team whether they should provide paperwork.
Home visits: who they are for and when to request
The official appointment page says home visits are reserved for terminally ill patients or those who are truly bedbound, where travelling to the surgery by car would cause deterioration or unacceptable discomfort. Requests should be made before 11am.
| Situation | Likely route | Important note |
|---|---|---|
| Terminally ill or truly bedbound | Request before 11am | Visits are arranged by urgency after morning surgery. |
| Would deteriorate if moved by car | Ask for clinical triage | Explain why travel would worsen the condition. |
| Transport difficulty only | Usually attend surgery | The official page says difficulty getting to surgery is not a valid reason. |
| Emergency symptoms | Call 999 | Do not wait for a home visit. |
Register as a new patient
NHS.uk currently shows Walkley House & Stannington M.C as accepting new patients. The official new-patients page says to check the catchment area before completing registration. You can register using an online registration form, collect a paper form from reception, or use the NHS App.
Use the official postcode boundary checker before completing forms.
Use online registration, paper forms from reception, or NHS App where available.
It helps but should not be the only reason to delay asking about registration.
Do not run out while records transfer from your previous GP.
The official page explains temporary registration for emergency treatment while away from home.
Feedback, suggestions and complaints
The official contact page says feedback, suggestions and complaints can be submitted through the practice feedback route. Good feedback should be specific: what happened, when, where, who was involved if known, what went well or what needs fixing, and what outcome you want.
Include date, time, site, phone queue, online form reference if available and what happened.
Say how it affected care, medication, results, appointment access or communication.
Examples: explanation, correction, callback, prescription fix, access adjustment or complaint response.
The practice may need authority before discussing another patient.
CQC rating and review-reading guide
CQC lists Walkley House Medical Centre as Overall Good at 23 Greenhow Street, Sheffield, S6 3TN. CQC also lists Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led as Good. Reviews and older comments should be read carefully because the practice now uses total triage and online form access, which may be different from older appointment systems.
Official rating
CQC is more formal than a single Google review because it inspects regulated care domains.
Check dates
Older reviews may not reflect current online form, triage and callback systems.
Look for patterns
Repeated themes about access, communication, prescriptions or kindness are more useful than one angry comment.
Use feedback routes
If something needs action, use the official complaints or feedback form rather than only leaving a review.
