Appointments

Appointments System

Please ring at 08:00 for appointments. The receptionist, who is bound by the same rules of confidentiality as the clinical staff, will take a brief description of the problem. This will allow us to book you with the most appropriate doctor or nurse for your appointment.

If you would prefer not to disclose this information please say so. They will advise you on the best person who can help you.

Medically urgent cases will always be seen.

You can also book appointments online via the link at the top of this page.

Home Visits

If you are genuinely too ill to visit the Health Centre contact us before 10:30am for a home visit. Please consider carefully before requesting a home visit as most problems are best dealt with at the surgery and you will usually be seen sooner.

Cancellations & Reminders

Cancel an Appointment

It is important that you inform the reception staff if you are unable to attend your appointment at least 1 hours before your appointment, this will allow that appointment to be offered to another patient. If you fail to notify the Practice that you are unable to attend, you will be sent a letter informing you that you have defaulted from your appointment. Persistent defaulters maybe removed from the list.

 

Text Reminder Service

We have a texting service which allows you to receive confirmation and reminders about your appointments.

To have this service you will need to register by completing a consent form.

Please remember to update your contact details with us when you change address, telephone numbers and email address.

Late For Your Appointment

Please attend your appointment on time, if you are late you may not be seen. If you are not seen you will not be able to rearrange your appointment until the next working day-except in the event of an medical emergency that requires immediate attention.

Interpreter

If you require an interpreter to attend with you when you see your Doctor please notify the receptionist and she will arrange this for you.

Further Information

The service is run by Bradford Care Alliance, which represents all GP practices in the Bradford area. Medical appointments are with GPs and other healthcare staff who work in the area; so your appointment may not be with a clinician from this practice.

To use the service we will ask for your consent to share your medical record and our reception staff will explain what this means and why it is necessary. Learn more about how and why we process your information.
