Appointments
Our practice offers GP appointments through the Accurx system, available Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 18:30. Requests are triaged by clinicians and allocated appropriate priority, with options for same-day or routine appointments up to two weeks ahead. The system allows convenient online booking without requiring login details.
Prescriptions
We provide repeat prescription services through online ordering systems and traditional counterfoil methods. Clinical pharmacists conduct medication reviews for long-term conditions, side effects management, and post-hospital care. Our team ensures accurate dispensing and provides guidance on proper medication usage and potential interactions.
Health Checks
NHS health checks are available for patients aged 16-74 who haven't been seen in three years. These comprehensive assessments evaluate cardiovascular risk, diabetes indicators, and other preventable conditions. Our healthcare professionals provide personalised advice and follow-up plans based on individual health profiles and risk factors.
Travel Vaccinations
Pre-travel consultations with practice nurses assess vaccination requirements based on destination-specific risks. We administer required immunisations and provide travel health advice, including malaria prevention and health precautions. Patients complete pre-appointment questionnaires to ensure comprehensive risk assessment and vaccine preparation.
Medication Reviews
Clinical pharmacists conduct detailed medication reviews for patients with complex prescriptions. These consultations address medication effectiveness, potential side effects, and interactions. Reviews are particularly recommended after hospital discharge or when managing multiple long-term conditions, ensuring optimal treatment outcomes and patient safety.

I cannot praise the staff enough. I've always experienced friendly staff in the reception. Dr Max Chalkley is an asset to this practice. Thanks for being here for us during these difficult times

It is the worst treatment facility that fails to provide medical care. Ive had medical problems all week, but they dont care, and keep repeating that the doctor will contact you today or within 2-3 business days. And so they play every day

Disgraceful practice, treat their patients with complete and utter contempt!! Not only do they seem to not ever answer their phones in a bid to get you to use 'ask my gp' that they seems to push down your throat at any given opportunity, yet when you do use 'ask my gp' its always offline!! This practice needs putting into special measures and the sooner the better! We are people Lindum not just a computer file!!

Poor service. It's really difficult to actually get in touch with anyone. Their Ask My GP online service is often unavailable and they hardly ever pick up the phone. Their opening hours are really odd too and seem to close during the afternoon. I will be switching practices if this continues.

I have been with this surgery for over 40 years and no major complaints. I have just had minor surgery and stiches taken out in the past week,Dr and both nurse's,were caring,informative, as well as understanding you being nervous. Also receptionists and the way the surgery is set out for protection etc is very good n I feel confident.
Applause to all.
