Denton Medical Practice

The surgery times shown below should only be used as a guideline as to the Practice's planned consultation times. Consultations are by appointment only. Please make a separate appointment for each member of the family that requires attention. If you are unable to keep an appointment please let us know, even at short notice, as an urgent case may then be fitted in.

If you need medical attention between 6:30 pm and 8:00 am on week days, during the weekend and public holidays, please ring 111. Please bear in mind that this service is also for those with an urgent need, who cannot wait until the next working day to be dealt with by the normal GP service. You may also wish to contact the telephone advice service 111 - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year if you need medical help fast, but it's not a 999 emergency.

Please note that all telephone calls at the practice are recorded to ensure optimum service levels and for training purposes. Patients requiring an urgent appointment on the same day will be able to call 0161 320 8788 from 08:00 am but before 11:00 am to be considered for a triage appointment. Patients will initially receive a telephone call from either the GP or the Nurse Practitioner.

When ordering online, please allow two full working days i.e 48 hours (excluding weekends) for your prescription to be ready. Please note that if you request your prescription after 12.00noon it will not be processed until the next working day. If you wish to have your repeat prescription form delivered to your address, you will need to post your repeat list with a stamped addressed envelope.
