How to request an NHS GP appointment at Tower Hill Partnership Medical Practice
The official appointments page says urgent and routine appointment requests can be made online using the practice’s Online GP Appointment System through AccuRx. If you cannot contact the practice online and the request is urgent, call 0121 411 0487. The practice may offer phone, face-to-face, text or email consultation depending on need.
| Route | Best for | What to prepare | When not to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| AccuRx online appointment request | Routine and urgent practice requests where the online route is open. | Symptoms, start date, severity, medication, allergies, access needs and callback availability. | Do not use routine online forms for 999 symptoms. |
| Phone 0121 411 0487 | Urgent requests if you cannot use online contact, access needs, cancellations and prescription queries. | Name, date of birth, phone number, reason, urgency and whether you can accept phone/video/text help. | Do not phone routine reception instead of 999 if someone may be seriously ill. |
| Face-to-face consultation | Problems where the clinician decides physical examination is needed. | Appointment time, medication list, sample if requested and any access needs. | Do not walk in expecting an immediate GP appointment without checking access rules. |
| Text, email or phone consultation | Flexible follow-up, advice, triage or admin where safe and suitable. | Correct mobile number/email and availability to respond. | Do not rely on messaging for rapidly worsening symptoms. |
| Home visit | Housebound patients who need an appointment and cannot attend surgery. | Call before 10:30am except emergencies and explain why travel is not possible. | The practice says attending surgery is usually more efficient where possible. |
| Extended access | Non-urgent evening/weekend appointments where suitable and available. | Availability outside normal hours and understanding the appointment may be at another area practice. | Do not use extended access for emergencies. |
Urgent appointment requests
The practice says it will ask what you need help with and use that information to choose the most suitable doctor, nurse or healthcare professional. If urgent and you cannot use online contact, phone the practice.
Routine appointment requests
Use the online AccuRx route where available. Keep the request to one clear problem so the triage team can decide the safest appointment type.

Register with Tower Hill Partnership Medical Practice
The official registration page says Tower Hill Partnership is only accepting patients who live within the practice catchment area. You should enter your postcode in the official catchment checker before completing the NHS GP registration form. The practice states it can take up to 28 days to register you.
Check your postcode first
Use the official catchment checker on the new-patient registration page. Do not start the registration form until you know you are likely to be inside the practice area.
Prepare patient details
Have your NHS number if known, full name, date of birth, address, previous address, previous GP surgery and contact number ready.
Prepare medication details
The practice says if you are on medication, you need to get a prescription from your current surgery before registering.
Allow time for registration
The practice says registration can take up to 28 days, so do not leave medication, medical letters or urgent care needs until the last minute.
| Prepare this | Why it matters | Helpful tip |
|---|---|---|
| Current address | Catchment depends on where you live. | Use your current Perry Barr/Birmingham address, not an old one. |
| NHS number | Helps match your NHS record. | Useful if known; you can still ask the practice if you cannot find it. |
| Previous GP details | Helps transfer your record. | Practice name, town and previous address are useful. |
| Medication and allergies | Important while your record transfers. | Get a prescription from your current surgery before registering if you take regular medicines. |
| Family member details | The official page says you may need details for family members. | Register each person correctly rather than assuming family registration is automatic. |
Repeat prescriptions, medicines and pharmacy help
The official prescription page says the easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are online using the GP online system/AccuRx, through a local pharmacy order-and-collect service, in person, by post, or by using the phone for prescription queries between 10:00am and 2:00pm. The page says prescriptions can usually be collected from the pharmacy 2 working days after ordering.
Online / AccuRx
Use the GP online system where available. The practice says online accounts show repeat medicine and dosage so you can choose what you need.
Local pharmacy
You can request repeat prescriptions through your local pharmacy order-and-collect service where supported.
Prescription queries
For prescription queries, the official page says to call 0121 411 0487 between 10:00am and 2:00pm and choose the prescription option.
In person / post
You can discuss requirements with reception in person or send a written request for electronic prescription to your chosen pharmacy.
Medication reviews
Patients on repeat medication may be asked to consult a pharmacist, doctor or practice nurse at least once a year.
Old medicines
Return old medicines to the pharmacy or bring them to the surgery. Do not put medicines in household bins or flush them down the toilet.
Prescription delay checklist: medicine name, strength, dose, how many days you have left, nominated pharmacy, side effects, medication review date and whether a weekend or bank holiday is coming.
Using the NHS App for repeat prescriptions
Tower Hill’s official online-services page says patients can use the NHS App for services such as repeat prescriptions, GP record access and appointment management where enabled. This video is included because repeat medication is one of the most common GP tasks.
This is general NHS App guidance, not a Tower Hill-specific local rule. Always follow the official Tower Hill Partnership Medical Practice website for local prescription and appointment instructions.
Test results, sick notes, online services and GP records
| Need | Best route | Official timing / rule | Useful tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Test results | NHS account/NHS App, phone or visit. | Phone or visit between 10am and 4pm. The practice says they will contact you if results need more tests or treatment. | Wait until a doctor has reviewed the result before chasing if possible. |
| Question about results | Fill in the test results request form. | Someone will be in touch after the request. | Include test type and approximate test date. |
| Sick / fit note | Online system under admin request, or phone if you cannot use online. | For more than 7 days off sick; 7 days or less is usually self-certification. | Do not request an urgent/emergency appointment just for a routine fit note. |
| Online services | NHS App or NHS account, depending on enabled features. | You must be registered with a GP surgery in England to use the NHS App. | Keep your mobile number and email current at the practice. |
NHS App and records
The official online-services page says NHS App can help patients order repeat prescriptions, manage hospital referrals, view GP health record information and more where available.
Fit note practical rule
If you have been off sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for GP evidence; use self-certification. For longer absence, use the official admin request route.
Test-result privacy
Prepare your name, date of birth and test date. The practice may need to confirm identity before discussing results.
Tower Hill Partnership services: GP, nurse, HCA, pharmacy or urgent care?
The practice’s “Who Do I See?” guidance explains that not every problem needs a GP. Some issues may be better handled by a community pharmacist, practice nurse, healthcare assistant, urgent care centre, dentist or NHS 111.
GP appointment
Use GP access for problems needing GP assessment, persistent symptoms, medication review, mental health concerns or clinician-directed follow-up.
Nurse / HCA
Blood tests requested by a clinician, smears, dressings, injections, chronic disease monitoring and routine nursing tasks may be suitable for nurse or HCA appointments.
Community pharmacy
Pharmacists can help with minor illnesses, medicines advice, coughs, colds, sore throats, tummy trouble, aches and pains.
Dentist
The practice guidance says doctors do not see dental problems. Use a dentist or NHS 111 for emergency dental advice.
Urgent care / A&E
Use urgent care or A&E for severe burns, severe eye injuries, acute asthma, serious head injuries or life-threatening symptoms.
Forms and certificates
The practice guidance says some forms, certificates and medicals are not covered by the NHS, may require payment, and can take time to process.
Fee note: NHS GP consultations are normally NHS services. Private letters, certificates, reports, medicals and non-NHS paperwork may have charges. Ask reception before requesting chargeable paperwork.
