Appointments: Online, Phone, Reception and Longer Appointment Rules
The official appointments page says appointments may be made online, by telephone or in person. It also asks patients to make one appointment for each family member who needs to be seen.
Use one appointment per person
If two family members need help, book separate appointments so each person has enough time and a clear record entry.
Ask for longer if complex
Appointments are normally ten-minute slots. If you have a complicated problem or more than one issue, ask for a longer appointment.
Online booking starts earlier
Book-on-day appointments are released from 7:30am for patients registered for online booking.
Phone booking starts from 8:30am
The routine appointment page encourages other patients to ring from 8:30am.
Pre-book when possible
The practice says limited pre-bookable appointments are available up to two weeks in advance.
Choose a doctor, but expect delay
The practice allows patients to choose whichever doctor they wish to attend, but this may delay when you can be seen.
Urgent Care Clinic: Same-Day Phone Booking
Woodhouse says it runs a limited “sit and wait” urgent care clinic each day for problems that cannot wait until the next scheduled appointment.
How to book
Phone reception. Urgent care clinic appointments are booked on the day.
Reception question
Reception will ask for a brief summary so the team can make sure you are safe and suggest minor injuries, A&E or another service if needed.
Your choice
The practice says patients have the right to decline to tell reception if the matter feels personal.
Home Visits: Phone Before 10:30am Where Possible
Home visits are not a convenience service. The final decision rests with the GP.
Who it is for
You may request a home visit only if housebound or too ill to visit the practice.
Best request time
Phone reception before 10:30am. If you call after 10:30am, the visit may be scheduled for the following day unless urgent.
GP decides
The GP decides whether the medical condition requires a home visit and how urgently it is needed.
E-Consultations: Simple Requests, Fit Notes, Results and Referrals
The official e-consultation update describes the tool as a simple integrated way to contact the practice for selected requests. It is not for emergencies.

Fit Notes, Sick Notes and GP Letters
First 7 days
The e-consultation update says the statutory requirement is to self-certify for the first 7 days of illness, and the doctor will not issue a sick note for that period.
More than 7 days
If you need time off work for longer than 7 days, you will require a sick/fit note. A first new sick-note request may need an appointment with a clinician.
Extensions
If you already have a sick/fit note and need to extend the absence period, the official sick-note page says you can use the e-consultation service.
Standard GP letter
The letter page says the usual fee for a standard private letter is a minimum of £30, with more complex letters or reports possibly costing more.

Test results
Use e-consultation for test-result requests where suitable. Results can be sent by secure text message if received and processed.
