Hockley Medical Practice Birmingham

Hockley Medical Practice is the GP surgery at 60 Lion Court on Carver Street in Birmingham. If you are trying to book an appointment, register, use online services, order repeat medicine, check a result or find help when the surgery is closed, the correct route depends on what you need rather than one universal booking link.

This independent guide organises the current practice, NHS and CQC information into practical patient steps and highlights a few areas where checking the live practice page matters.

How to Get an Appointment at Hockley Medical Practice

Hockley separates urgent and routine requests. Reception may ask what you need help with so the request can be directed to the most suitable GP, nurse or other health professional.

TODAY

Urgent weekday request

For an urgent appointment for today or tomorrow, the practice says to phone 0121 554 1757 or visit reception Monday to Friday between 8:00am and 6:30pm.

WEB

Routine request

The current appointments page names AccuRx as its online GP appointment route. You can also phone or speak to reception.

NHS

NHS account

The practice says the NHS account can be used for supported booking tasks, including some screening-test and vaccination appointments.

What to tell reception or include online

Your name, date of birth and current callback number.
The main health problem you need help with.
When it started and whether it is getting worse.
Relevant medicines or treatment already tried.
Whether you prefer telephone, face-to-face, video or another available format.
Any interpreter, hearing, mobility or communication requirement.

More than one problem? The practice says normal appointments are generally ten-minute slots and asks patients with a complicated issue or more than one problem to request a longer appointment where appropriate.

Cancel or change an appointment

Hockley asks for at least 24 hours’ notice where possible. The official appointments page lists NHS account, Patient Access, telephone and replying CANCEL to an appointment reminder text among its cancellation routes.

The same page says patients arriving more than 15 minutes late may be asked to re-book.

Check current appointment instructions

AccuRx, NHS App and Patient Access

Hockley’s website currently displays several online-contact technologies in different parts of the site. For appointment requests, the dedicated appointments page specifically identifies AccuRx. Start from the current practice website rather than relying on an old bookmarked form, because online systems can change.

AccuRx

The official appointments page names AccuRx as the online route for routine GP appointment requests.

Patient Access

Hockley says Patient Access can support appointment management, repeat prescriptions and access to parts of the GP record where enabled.

APP

NHS App

The NHS App can support repeat prescriptions, appointments, test results and GP record access where those services are enabled for your account.

Setting up Patient Access: the practice’s online-services page says patients who have not used its online services before should attend the surgery with photo ID so identity can be confirmed. Reception can then issue registration details for the service.

Avoid old online links. The practice homepage currently surfaces several online-consultation brands, while its appointment guidance specifically points to AccuRx. Using the live official appointment or online-services page is safer than saving a third-party form URL indefinitely.

Register with Hockley Medical Practice

NHS currently shows Hockley Medical Practice as accepting new patients. The practice itself says registration depends on living within its catchment area, so check the boundary before completing the form.

Check the catchment map

Open the official new-patient page and use its practice-area tool. The practice says it predominantly serves areas including Hockley, Winson Green, Handsworth, Handsworth Wood, Perry Barr, Great Barr and parts of the wider area, but the live boundary check is the better test for your address.

Complete the current registration form

Once your address is confirmed as eligible, use the online New Patient Registration form. Paper registration forms are also available from reception.

Prepare information the practice asks for

The practice asks patients using its registration process to provide photo ID and recent proof of address for identity verification and online-service access. For a child under six, it asks for the red book or previous immunisation history where available.

Keep enough medicine while records transfer

The practice says it aims to process completed registration forms within about a week and warns that transfer of previous GP records may take longer. Avoid waiting until essential regular medicine is nearly finished before changing practice.

Safe Surgery commitment: the practice says it welcomes patients regardless of immigration status or personal circumstances and does not ask for proof of immigration status as part of that commitment. Its registration page also explains that you do not need to know your NHS number to use NHS services.

Check catchment and registration

Repeat Prescriptions and Medicines

Hockley’s online-services page lists both NHS App and Patient Access for repeat-prescription tasks. The NHS recommends ordering repeat medication early rather than waiting until you have run out.

Open your online service

Use NHS App/NHS account or the practice-supported online service and open the repeat-prescription section.

Select the correct medicine

Check the medicine name, strength and dose carefully. Only medicines available as repeats can normally be requested through the NHS App.

Check your pharmacy

Confirm your nominated pharmacy before submitting if the service gives you that option.

If a medicine is missing: the NHS explains that a medicine may not appear for ordering if it is too early, a medication review is due, it is not a repeat item, or the practice requires a different request route. Contact Hockley Medical Practice rather than repeatedly submitting the same request.

Running low? NHS guidance recommends requesting repeat medicine up to five working days before you need it. This is general NHS guidance rather than a Hockley-specific processing guarantee.

Open Hockley online services

Test Results and GP Records

Hockley lists access to parts of the GP health record, including test results, through its online services. NHS App access can also show GP-ordered results once they have been released to your record.

APP

Check NHS App first

Open the Test results area and select the relevant GP-ordered result if it has been released.

Result missing?

A result may not yet have returned, may not have been sent to the GP, or may not be available online. Contact the service that arranged the test if you are unsure.

Need an explanation?

Contact the surgery if you do not understand a GP result or the record tells you to discuss it with a healthcare professional.

Do not diagnose yourself from a number on screen. Test results need clinical context. If you have worsening symptoms or have been told to seek help, use the appropriate clinical route rather than waiting for an online record to change.

NHS App test-result instructions

Fit Notes and Sick Leave

The practice homepage includes a Sick / Fit Notes service. For the underlying UK employment rule, GOV.UK says employees normally self-certify sickness lasting seven days or less and may need a fit note when illness lasts more than seven days in a row.

Situation	Usual route	What to prepare
Off sick for 7 days or less	Self-certification is normally used.	Exact dates of absence and employer process.
Off sick for more than 7 days	A fit note may be required after clinical assessment.	Start date, reason, work limitations and any previous note.
Need a practice request	Use Hockley’s current online/admin route or contact reception.	Name, date of birth, absence dates and best callback number.

NHS App services may also offer a route to request a letter or information such as a fit note, depending on what the GP surgery has enabled.

Read official GOV.UK fit-note rules

Evening and Weekend GP Appointments

Hockley Medical Practice is part of i3 Ladywood Primary Care Network. Its current contact page describes pre-booked extended-access appointments outside normal weekday hours.

Weekday evenings

The contact page lists 6:30pm–8:00pm Monday to Friday through a PCN hub at Summerfield Health Centre.

SAT

Saturday extended access

The contact page lists a pre-booked Saturday 9:00am–12:00pm service at Church Road Surgery, 28 Church Road, Aston, Birmingham, B6 5UP.

Confirm the current slot and venue. The official Hockley pages do not describe weekend extended access in exactly the same way. The appointments page uses broader weekend wording, while the contact page gives the specific Saturday hub above. Ask reception what is currently available when booking.

Extended-access appointments are pre-booked and may take place at another local GP site rather than at Hockley Medical Practice itself.

Home Visit Requests

Home visits are intended for patients whose medical condition means they are housebound or too ill to attend the surgery. A request does not automatically mean a GP will visit; the practice clinically assesses whether a home visit is appropriate and how urgently it is needed.

Phone early

The practice says it is helpful to call as soon after 8:00am as possible and asks patients needing a home visit to contact reception before 11:00am.

Explain why you cannot attend

Be ready to describe the problem, why travel to the surgery is not possible and the best telephone number for clinical follow-up.

Keep your phone available

The GP may telephone before deciding what care is appropriate. The practice says home visits are usually made around 12:00pm–1:00pm when clinically agreed.

Do not request a routine home visit for a critical emergency. If an ambulance is required or someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk, call 999.

Accessibility at Hockley Medical Practice

The practice publishes several access arrangements for patients with mobility, hearing or visual requirements.

♿

Wheelchair access

The practice states that the premises are wheelchair accessible and that a disabled toilet is available.

Disabled parking

The official contact page says disabled parking spaces are available.

AUDIO

Hearing and visual support

The practice lists an induction loop at reception and says large-print or audio/CD versions of practice information can be requested.

Guide dogs: the practice says guide dogs are welcome. If you need an interpreter, hearing support, privacy at reception or another communication adjustment, tell the team when arranging your visit.

Use NHS 111 online or call 111 for urgent medical help when you are not sure what to do and it is not a 999 emergency.

Wait for the practice
Routine admin, standard registration questions, non-urgent fit-note requests and ordinary appointment administration can normally wait until the practice is open.

Important Hockley website note: one section of the practice’s appointments page still contains an older out-of-hours telephone reference, while the current contact page, homepage and later appointment guidance direct patients to NHS 111. For current urgent non-emergency help when the practice is closed, use the NHS 111 route rather than relying on an old saved number.

NHS 111 online is intended for people aged five and over. For urgent help for a child under five, call 111 rather than using the online symptom service.
