This guide tells you what to expect from your general practice (GP) and how you can help them, so you get the best from the National Health Service (NHS). More details can be found through the link below:

If you have a sample to bring in to be sent off for testing, please make sure these are returned to Reception anytime Monday- Friday before 12.30pm.

Unfortunately, we are unable to accept any sample given after this time as our sample collection for the day has gone.

We are unable to keep sample overnight for tomorrows collection as these will be rejected by the lab.

If you require a Med3, please follow these steps first:

If you have been off work for less than 7 days:
– You can self certify for 7 days where you do not require a sick note from your GP- The GP will not issue a sick note unless you have been off work for at least 7 days.

If you have been off work for more than 7 days:
– Only contact your GP if you have been off for 7 days or more.
-Our reception team is required to book a routine GP appointment for our next available day.
-We will also send you a message via Accurx which allows you to respond to us, We will ask that you send us as much information as possible (symptoms etc) as for why you feel you need the sick note. Our next routine appointment may be 1+ weeks away, with sending the information, it documents in your record your first point of contact so the GP knows how far to backdate the sick note/ how long you have been having symptoms for.

Med3/ Sick note renewal.
-If you require another sick note after your current one expires, please try to contact us as soon as possible as it may take a few days for the GP to process your request. We may be required to book another appointment with the GP before renewal but this is not always necessary.
-If you would like to request a renewal online- please follow the link below: (this is only for renewals)
Contact us about your request (accurx.com)
