Non-urgent advice: Appointments System Update
Due to unprecedented demand combined with staff absence and the commitment of staff resource to COVID clinics, we have taken the decision to suspend the ASK my GP service.
To make an appointment please call us on 0113 274 4777. Please note all appointments are Telephone Appointments as the first point of contact, however you may be asked by the GP to been seen for a face to face consultation.
We have a limited number of appointments that release every day, if we are full, you may be asked to call back on a different day. We are experiencing very high levels of demand at the moment so please bear this in mind when considering making an appointment. For urgent problems we have a Duty GP that will deal with your problem if it is medically urgent.
We also have a limited number of extended access appointments on evenings and weekends and some advanced telephone booking appointments with our GPs through the week. Please ask the Receptionist about our availability for these appointments.
For any general queries you are able to email through to the reception team at [email protected] Please note we will not be taking appointment requests via email, only over the phone.
Non-urgent advice: Obtaining Test results
If you require recent or historic test results, you are able to view these online via the online patient access portal. If you would like to be set up for this please email [email protected] and make sure to include 1 example of photographic ID.
If you wish to ring us for test results, we ask that you only ring us between 4pm- 5pm in order to reduce call wait times through the day.

Non-urgent advice: Obtaining proof of your Covid-19 Vaccinations
From 17 May 2021, people in England who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can demonstrate their vaccination status for international travel. A full course is currently two doses of any approved vaccine. Vaccine status will be available from:
the NHS App which you can download from app stores
the NHS website
119 – by requesting a paper letter
You will need to register to use the online services, if you have not already. It may take more than a week for your identity to be checked and verified.
If you cannot access the online services, and you have had both doses of the vaccine, you can request a paper letter from the NHS by calling 119. Only call 119 if you are due to travel outside the UK in the near future and have had your second dose more than 5 working days ago. It may take up to 7 working days for the letter to arrive.
This practice is not able to provide you with a letter that shows your COVID-19 vaccination status. Please do not contact the practice about your COVID-19 vaccination status unless you have been advised to by the 119 service.
When you’re planning your travel, you should check the latest information on demonstrating your COVID-19 status when travelling abroad on the gov.uk website. Make sure there is enough time to get proof of your COVID-19 vaccination status before you are due to travel.
