5-step Latham House patient workflow before you contact the surgery
Most delays happen when a patient uses the wrong route or gives too little information. Use this order before submitting an AccuRx form, phoning reception or travelling to Sage Cross Street.
Check if it is emergency, urgent, minor injury or routine
Life-threatening symptoms are 999. Urgent but non-emergency is NHS 111. Minor accidents may fit the Latham House MIU. Routine GP/admin requests usually go through AccuRx.
Use AccuRx for routine appointments and admin requests
Routine clinical requests go to the patient’s own GP for advice and action. The practice says it responds within 48 working hours.
Phone if you need same-day urgent GP help
For urgent same-day appointments Monday to Friday, phone 01664 503000 when the practice is open. Be ready to answer the same style of questions as the online form.
Choose the right task route
Use the prescription page for repeat medication, test-results route for results, sick-note route for fit notes, and registration page for new-patient forms.
Check site and appointment type before travelling
Latham House has Sage Cross Street and Asfordby-related access notes. Confirm whether your appointment is phone, face-to-face, video, text/email, Sage Cross Street, Asfordby or enhanced access.
How to request an NHS GP appointment at Latham House Medical Practice
The official appointments page separates urgent same-day requests from routine appointments and administrative requests. Urgent same-day requests are by phone Monday to Friday when the practice is open. Routine and admin requests should be made through the AccuRx online contact form or via the NHS App, with reception support available for patients who cannot complete the form themselves.
| Route | Best for | What to prepare | When not to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| AccuRx online form | Routine GP appointments, admin questions and non-emergency clinical requests. | Main problem, duration, medication, appointment preference and access needs. | Do not use for emergency symptoms or a problem that cannot wait safely. |
| NHS App route | Patients who prefer NHS login and may also manage prescriptions, records or NHS number. | NHS login, clear request and contact details. | Do not assume every appointment can be directly booked without triage. |
| Phone 01664 503000 | Same-day urgent requests, patients without online access, or patients who need reception help completing AccuRx. | Name, DOB, symptoms, urgency, medication, callback number and access needs. | Do not phone routine reception instead of calling 999 for life-threatening symptoms. |
| Visit the surgery | Patients who need support completing the online form at the practice. | Reason for request and enough time for reception support. | Do not travel without checking opening times and whether your issue belongs at Sage Cross Street, MIU or another service. |
| MIU reception / phone | Minor accidents that you cannot treat yourself. | Injury details, timing, bleeding, pain level, tetanus/immunisation status if relevant. | Not for suspected broken bones needing X-ray/scan or life-threatening injuries. |
Urgent same-day appointments
To request an urgent appointment for the same day, phone 01664 503000 Monday to Friday when the practice is open. Explain why the issue cannot wait, what has changed, and whether you have red-flag symptoms.
Official context: official appointments page.
Routine and admin requests
All routine appointments and administrative requests should be made through AccuRx. If you cannot use the form, reception can complete it with you by phone or help you use the practice computer.
Official context: official contact page.
Appointment format note: the practice may offer phone, face-to-face, video, text or email contact. If a specific format, interpreter or communication support is important, say this in the AccuRx form or when speaking to reception.

| Situation | Best route | Why |
|---|---|---|

| Suspected broken bone needing X-ray | A&E / urgent care with imaging | The official MIU page says it cannot X-ray or scan suspected breaks. |
| Chest pain, stroke signs, collapse or severe breathing difficulty | 999 | These are emergency symptoms, not MIU or routine GP issues. |

NHS 111, urgent help and 999 near Latham House Medical Practice
Routine GP forms, AccuRx requests and reception queues are not emergency services. Use the safest route based on severity.
Call 999 now
Use 999 for life-threatening symptoms such as chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing difficulty, collapse, major injury, severe bleeding or serious mental health emergency.
Use NHS 111
Use NHS 111 online or call 111 if you need urgent help but it is not a 999 emergency, especially when the surgery is closed.
Consider MIU
For minor accidents you cannot treat yourself, Latham House MIU may be relevant, but it is not A&E and cannot X-ray suspected breaks.
Do not wait for AccuRx or reception if someone may be seriously ill, injured, unable to breathe properly, having chest pain, showing stroke signs, bleeding severely or at immediate risk.

Common Latham House Medical Practice mistakes to avoid
Searching the wrong Latham / Lathom practice
This page is for Latham House Medical Practice in Melton Mowbray, not Lathom House Surgery or another similarly named GP surgery.
Using phone for routine admin first
The official page says routine appointments and administrative requests should be made via AccuRx where possible.
Not saying it is urgent
For same-day urgent help, phone and explain why the issue cannot wait. Do not submit a vague routine request if you need urgent review.
Expecting instant AccuRx response
The practice says it will respond within 48 working hours for AccuRx routine requests. Use urgent routes if it cannot wait.
Using MIU like A&E
The MIU is not A&E and cannot X-ray or scan suspected broken bones.
Going to Asfordby for walk-in urgent care
The official Asfordby notice says no walk-in service is available there; on-the-day care and minor injuries support are at Sage Cross Street.
Registering without catchment check
Check the official catchment area before completing the registration form.
Leaving prescriptions too late
Request regular medicines early before weekends, bank holidays, travel or care-home delivery deadlines.
Not cancelling appointments
Use the 24/7 cancellation line, AccuRx or reception route if you cannot attend. This frees the appointment for another patient.
Using GP forms for emergencies
Call 999 for life-threatening symptoms. Use NHS 111 for urgent non-emergency help when unsure.
