Address
Peel Court, 2 Aldergate, Tamworth, B79 7DJ. The practice says it is in Tamworth Town Centre and around a 2-minute walk from the bus station.
Phone
Call 01827 50575 if you cannot use online access, need reception help, need to cancel, or need access support during opening hours.
Opening hours
Monday to Friday, 8am to 6:30pm. Saturday and Sunday are closed. Check the official contact page before travelling around bank holidays or training dates.
New patients
The NHS profile shows the surgery is currently accepting new patients. You should still check catchment before filling in registration forms.

Accurx online forms can be used for appointments, sick notes, test results and admin requests. Some NHS account/Patient Access tasks need login.
Urgent safety
Use NHS 111 for urgent non-emergency help when unsure. Call 999 for life-threatening medical or mental health emergencies.
Practical Peel-specific point: do not treat “Peel Medical Practice appointment” as just a phone call search. The current official appointment page says urgent and routine requests are handled through an online request system, then reviewed and actioned based on the details you provide.
What do you need from Peel Medical Practice today?
Choose the closest situation before you call or submit an online request. This helps you avoid delays, wrong forms and unsafe use of routine GP access.
Peel GP help finder
This is general signposting only. It does not diagnose symptoms or replace urgent medical care.
5-step Peel Medical Practice workflow before you submit a request
This practical order helps patients choose the correct route, avoid vague messages, and use official sources only when they are ready for action.
Check if it is a 999 emergency first
If someone may be seriously ill, injured, at risk, having chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe breathing difficulty, collapse or severe bleeding, do not use a GP form. Call 999.
Use NHS 111 if urgent but not life-threatening
If the practice is closed or you are unsure where to go, use NHS 111 online or call 111. NHS 111 online is for people aged 5 and over; call 111 for younger children.
Use Peel’s online request system for routine or urgent GP issues
The appointment page says urgent and routine appointment requests use the online system. During core hours, requests are reviewed the same day and actioned based on information provided.
Use the correct admin route
Use prescription routes for repeat medicines, registration route for joining the practice, fit-note form for sick notes, and online/admin forms for test results or admin queries.
Before travelling, check address, hours and access
The official contact page lists Tamworth town-centre location, car parking, disabled parking, disabled WC, induction loop, wheelchair access and step-free access. Check live notices before attending.
How to request an NHS GP appointment at Peel Medical Practice
The official appointment page says The Peel Medical Practice now uses a totally online system for urgent and routine appointment requests. If you contact the practice during core hours, 8am to 6:30pm, the request is reviewed the same day and may lead to an appointment, advice, signposting to another service or a request for more information.
| Route | Best for | What to prepare | When not to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online medical query form | Urgent or routine appointment requests during core hours. | Symptoms, duration, severity, medicines, allergies, access needs and best callback time. | Do not use for 999 emergencies or immediate life-threatening symptoms. |
| Phone: 01827 50575 | Patients who cannot use online services, need help cancelling/changing, or need reception/access support. | Full name, date of birth, reason, phone number and whether you can use SMS/email/video. | Do not phone routine reception first if symptoms are life-threatening. |
| NHS account / NHS App | Checking/cancelling some appointments, ordering repeats, viewing test results and record access where enabled. | NHS login and phone/email verification access. | Do not assume all GP appointments are directly bookable in the App. |
| Reception visit | Patients who cannot use online tools and need face-to-face help during opening hours. | Reason for request, access needs, forms and appointment details. | Do not travel without checking opening hours or if urgent care should be 111/999. |
| Extended access | Evening/weekend extra appointments across Tamworth via The New Mercian GP Network. | Ask the practice whether extended access is suitable for your issue. | Not a replacement for emergency care or guaranteed usual clinician access. |
What consultation type might be offered?
The official appointment page says the practice may offer consultation by phone, face to face at the surgery, video call, text or email. The route depends on clinical need and the information you provide.
Changing or cancelling appointments
You can cancel through NHS account/NHS App, reply CANCEL to reminder text, phone 01827 50575 during opening hours, or visit reception. Cancelling early helps another patient use the slot.
Strong request example: “I am registered with The Peel Medical Practice. I need help with _____. It started _____. It is getting better/worse. I take _____. I have tried _____. I am worried because _____. I can take a call at _____. I need interpreter / access support if possible. Please advise whether this should be GP, nurse, pharmacist, NHS 111 or emergency care.”
After reading the route table, use the official Peel appointment page for the live appointment request route.
Peel Medical Practice opening hours
The official contact page lists normal surgery opening hours as Monday to Friday, 8am to 6:30pm. Saturday and Sunday are closed. The NHS profile may show “currently closed” outside opening hours; that means closed at that moment, not necessarily permanently closed.
| Day | Listed opening hours | Practical patient tip |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 8am to 6:30pm | Use online requests early when possible; high-demand times can be busy. |
| Tuesday | 8am to 6:30pm | Check official notices for training-day closures. |
| Wednesday | 8am to 6:30pm | Use NHS account/Patient Access for tasks that do not need reception. |
| Thursday | 8am to 6:30pm | Give full details in the online form to reduce back-and-forth. |
| Friday | 8am to 6:30pm | Order medicines early before weekends or bank holidays. |
| Saturday | Closed | Use NHS 111 for urgent non-emergency help. |
| Sunday | Closed | Call 999 for life-threatening emergencies. |
Travel warning: opening times can change for bank holidays, training, local service updates or temporary notices. Before travelling, check the official Peel contact and opening-hours page.
Register with The Peel Medical Practice
The NHS profile shows The Peel Medical Practice is currently accepting new patients. The official registration page says you should check the catchment area before filling in a registration form. You can register online, download and complete a PRF1 form, or collect a paper form from reception when the practice is open.
Check catchment first
Do not complete registration only from a third-party listing. Use the official catchment checker or contact the practice to confirm whether your address is eligible.
Choose registration route
Options include online registration form, downloadable PRF1 form, or paper registration form collected from reception during opening hours.
Prepare medication details
Have your current medication, allergies, repeat prescription details and previous GP information ready before applying.
| Prepare this | Why it matters | Helpful action |
|---|---|---|
| NHS number | The practice says it is helpful to have your NHS number when registering. | Use the NHS number finder if you do not know it. |
| Current address | Catchment depends on where you live. | Use your current Tamworth/Staffordshire address. |
| Previous GP details | Helps transfer your records correctly. | Include practice name/town if known. |
| Medicines and allergies | Important for safe care while records transfer. | Do not wait until you run out of regular medication. |
| Accessible communication needs | The registration form asks about accessible formats and reasonable adjustments. | State large print, EasyRead, hearing loop or other access needs clearly. |
After checking this list, use the official Peel registration page to check catchment and choose the correct registration route.
Repeat prescriptions, medicines and pharmacy help
The official prescription page says the easiest repeat-prescription routes are NHS account/NHS App and Patient Access. You can also use a repeat prescription request form, bring the paper form to the surgery when open, or post the paper form. The practice says it does not take repeat prescription requests over the phone or email.
NHS account / NHS App
Useful for repeat medicines, dosage visibility and nominated pharmacy management. The NHS App may also help with test results, records and NHS number.
Patient Access
The official prescription page lists Patient Access as a GP online system route for repeat prescriptions. Setup may require identity confirmation.
Paper / request form
You can fill out a repeat prescription request form, bring the paper form to surgery, or post it to the practice.
| Prescription task | Official rule | Patient tip |
|---|---|---|
| Repeat request | Use NHS account/NHS App, Patient Access, form, paper slip or post. | Order before weekends, bank holidays and travel. |
| Phone/email requests | The practice says phone and email repeat requests are not accepted. | Use written/online route to reduce medication-name mistakes. |
| Pharmacy collection | Prescription can usually be collected from the pharmacy 2 working days after ordering. | Confirm your nominated pharmacy before submitting. |
| Medication query | The page says you can phone the pharmacist after 10am, use a medication query form, or ask reception. | Have medicine name, dose and issue ready. |
| Old medicines | Return old medicines to pharmacy or bring them to surgery; do not bin or flush them. | Ask pharmacy about safe disposal and inhaler return. |
Avoid prescription delays: include medicine name, strength, dose, how many days you have left, nominated pharmacy and whether you are due a medication review. The practice does not promise same-day prescriptions, so request repeats early.
Use the official Peel prescriptions page for current repeat prescription routes and medication query instructions.
Peel Medical Practice online services: Accurx, NHS account and Patient Access
The practice’s online-services page explains that Accurx can be used for appointment requests, sick notes, test result questions and admin requests without needing an account. NHS account/NHS App or Patient Access can be used for tasks like repeat prescriptions, viewing test results, viewing parts of your record, checking/cancelling appointments and seeing vaccination records.
Accurx online form
Best for one clear medical/admin request. It does not require an account, but you should give enough detail for safe triage and use 999/111 when appropriate.
NHS account / Patient Access
Best for repeat prescriptions, some test results, parts of your GP record, appointment checks/cancellations and vaccination record tasks.
Setup tip: NHS login setup is done online. Patient Access setup may require visiting the surgery with photo ID so the practice can confirm your identity and give you registration details.
For task-by-task online access, use the official Peel managing your health online page.
Fit notes, test results, records and referrals
Sick / fit note
If you have been off sick for more than 7 days, use the online sick note request. For 7 days or less, employers should usually use self-certification rather than asking for GP evidence.
official Peel fit note pageTest results
If results show more tests or treatment are needed, the practice says it will contact you. Use online routes or NHS account/Patient Access where available.
official online services pageMedical records
You can request access using an online form or NHS account/NHS App. Summary Care Record helps healthcare staff see allergies and medicines in emergencies.
official Peel medical records pageReferrals
If you are waiting for clinical opinion, treatment or surgery, the practice signposts patients to My Planned Care for waiting-time and support information.
official Peel referrals pagePharmacy First
Pharmacy First may help with selected conditions such as earache, impetigo, infected insect bites, shingles, sinusitis, sore throat and eligible UTI cases.
official Peel Pharmacy First pagePrivacy and access needs
Keep your contact details updated and state communication needs clearly, including accessible format, interpreter, hearing loop or reasonable adjustments.
official Peel contact pageNHS 111, urgent help and 999 near Peel Medical Practice
Routine GP requests are not emergency services. The official Peel site tells patients to use NHS 111 online or call 111 if they need medical help when the practice is closed, and to call 999 in a medical or mental health emergency when someone is seriously ill, injured or their life is at risk.
Call 999 now
Use 999 for life-threatening symptoms such as chest pain, severe breathing difficulty, stroke signs, collapse, severe bleeding, severe burns, serious injury or severe allergic reaction.
Use NHS 111
Use NHS 111 online or call 111 if you need urgent medical help and are not sure what to do, especially when the surgery is closed.
Use Peel Medical Practice
Use Peel routes for routine or practice-managed urgent requests, prescriptions, test results, fit notes, home visits, admin and planned reviews.
Do not wait for GP review if symptoms may be life-threatening or someone is at immediate risk. Call 999 or go to emergency care.

Use the full address when travelling: Peel Court, 2 Aldergate, Tamworth, B79 7DJ. The official contact page says the practice is in Tamworth Town Centre and around a 2-minute walk from the bus station.
Bus-station tip
The practice says it is around a 2-minute walk from Tamworth bus station. This can be easier than town-centre parking at busy times.
Parking
Official page lists car parking and disabled parking. Check before travelling if parking is essential or mobility is limited.
Accessibility
Disabled WC, induction loop, wheelchair access and step-free access are listed. Mention access needs when requesting or attending an appointment.
Video: using the NHS App for repeat prescriptions
Peel’s prescription page lists NHS account/NHS App as one of the easiest repeat prescription routes. This video is a general NHS App repeat-prescription guide, not a Peel-specific local rule. Always follow the official Peel prescription page for local instructions.
This video is a helpful visual reference for the NHS App prescription process. For current Peel Medical Practice rules, use the official Peel prescription and online-services pages.
Common Peel Medical Practice mistakes to avoid
Only searching “Peel Medical Practice”
Use the full Tamworth address because there are other Peel-named medical sites in the UK.
Trying to phone repeat prescriptions
The official prescription page says repeat prescription requests are not accepted by phone or email.
Writing vague symptoms
“Need doctor” is not enough. Give symptoms, duration, severity, medicines, allergies and callback times.
Using GP forms for emergencies
Use 999 for life-threatening symptoms and NHS 111 for urgent non-emergency help.
Not checking catchment before registering
The registration page says you should check the catchment area before filling out forms.
Leaving medication too late
The prescription page says pharmacy collection is usually 2 working days after ordering, so do not wait until the last dose.
Travelling without checking hours
Normal hours are weekdays only. Check official notices for training, bank holidays or temporary changes.
Forgetting to cancel
Use NHS account/NHS App, reply CANCEL to reminder text, phone or reception so another patient can use the slot.
Assuming all care must be GP
Pharmacy First, NHS 111, extended access, pharmacist queries and self-care routes may be better for some needs.

Peel Medical Practice appointments
The key intent is not just “phone number.” The official appointment system uses online requests for urgent and routine needs, with same-day review during core hours.
Peel Medical Practice opening hours
Normal official hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6:30pm. Weekends are closed. Check official notices before travelling.
Peel Medical Practice phone number
Reception is 01827 50575. Use it for access help, cancellation/change support, home-visit alternatives, or when online services are not suitable.
Peel Medical Practice registration
NHS shows new patients are accepted, but the official registration page says to check catchment before applying.

The useful answer is route-based: NHS App/NHS account, Patient Access, form, paper slip or post. Phone/email requests are not accepted.
Peel Medical Practice NHS App
The NHS App can help with repeat prescriptions, appointments, health advice, records and NHS number access where enabled.
Peel Medical Practice test results
If results need more treatment or tests, the practice says it will contact you. Online/NHS account routes can help with result access.

For local intent, confirm the exact Tamworth town-centre address and do not confuse it with other Peel-named surgeries in different towns.
Deep dive into Peel Medical Practice access
Deep dive into appointment access
Peel’s appointment system is built around online requests first. The user problem is usually not “how to book” but “what detail do I put in the form so triage is safe?”
Deep dive into prescriptions and NHS App
Peel does not take repeat prescription requests by phone or email. That makes NHS account, NHS App, Patient Access and written routes especially important.
Deep dive into registration
The NHS profile says new patients are accepted, but the practical first step is catchment checking. A live NHS status does not replace eligibility checks.
Deep dive into urgent vs routine care
Routine online forms are not emergency systems. NHS 111 and 999 exist for different levels of urgency and should be used before waiting for GP review when appropriate.
Deep dive into Tamworth travel
The practice is in Tamworth Town Centre near the bus station. Parking/accessibility are listed, but patients with mobility needs should confirm before travel.
Deep dive into admin requests
Fit notes, test results, records, referrals and contact-detail changes are separate tasks. Using the correct official form reduces admin delay.
