How to request an NHS GP appointment at Brayford Medical Practice
The official appointment page says routine appointments should be organised through Accurx where possible. Your form is triaged by trained reception staff and a triaging clinician, then the practice contacts you with the next step.
| Route | Best for | What to prepare | When not to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accurx form | Routine clinical requests, appointment triage and clear symptom descriptions. | Problem, symptoms, duration, medication, urgency, availability and photos if relevant. | Do not use for 999 symptoms or immediate emergency care. |
| Phone: 01522 543943 | Patients who cannot use a smartphone, PC or internet, or need reception help. | Name, date of birth, contact number, symptoms and why you cannot use online access. | Do not wait in a phone queue for life-threatening symptoms. |
| Reception / in person | Patients who need support, privacy, forms, access help or cannot use digital routes. | Clear reason, ID if relevant, access needs and enough time for reception handling. | Do not travel without checking opening if the matter is not urgent. |
| Pharmacy First | Certain minor illnesses such as sore throat, shingles, sinusitis or uncomplicated UTI in eligible women. | Age, symptoms, allergies, medicines, pregnancy status and how long symptoms have lasted. | Use GP/111/999 routes if symptoms are severe, worsening or outside pharmacy scope. |
| NHS 111 | Urgent non-emergency help when the surgery is closed or you are unsure where to go. | Symptoms, age, medication, postcode, vulnerability and current location. | Use 999 if life may be at risk. |
Good Accurx request example: “I am registered at Brayford Medical Practice. I need help with _____. It started _____. It is getting better/worse. I take _____. I am worried because _____. I can take a call at _____. Please advise whether this should be GP, nurse, pharmacist, face-to-face review, NHS 111 or emergency care.”
Total triage means routing, not just booking
The practice explains that a wide range of clinicians and Lincolnshire services may be appropriate. Contact with a clinician may happen by telephone review, SMS messaging or face-to-face review.
When appointments are harder to get
The appointment page notes Mondays and Fridays can be particularly busy, especially during winter. If a request is not urgent, a less busy day may be more suitable.
Brayford Medical Practice opening hours and phone-line notes
The homepage lists opening times as 8am–8pm and phone lines as Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 18:30. Because GP access can change for bank holidays, training days and local service updates, check the official website before travelling.
| Access detail | Officially listed note | Patient tip |
|---|---|---|
| Main phone line | 01522 543943. | Listen to the option carefully: prescriptions, cancellations and reception are separated. |
| Phone-line time | Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 18:30. | If your issue is routine and you can use Accurx, that may avoid phone waiting. |
| Homepage opening note | Opening times: 8am–8pm. | Check the official website before attending late-day or extended-access appointments. |
| Extended access | Homepage banner mentions extended access appointments on selected early/late days and every fourth Saturday. | Do not assume every service is available during extended hours. Confirm the appointment type. |
| Out of hours | Use NHS 111 when the practice is closed and help cannot wait. | Use 999 for life-threatening symptoms or serious injury. |
Before you travel: check whether your appointment is in person, telephone, SMS review, nurse clinic, extended access or another service. Arriving at Newland Health Centre for a telephone/SMS review can waste time.

NHS new-patient status

Processing time
The practice says it is currently taking around 7 days to get patients onto the system and fully registered.
Carer registration
If you look after someone, telling the GP can help the practice understand your responsibilities and offer support where available.
Medication continuity

Have ready before registering: full name, date of birth, current Lincoln address, phone number, email, NHS number if known, previous GP, current medicines, allergies, carer status and access needs.
Repeat prescriptions, SystmOnline and pharmacy help
The official prescription page links to SystmOnline for prescription ordering and also provides a prescription request form asking for name, date of birth, contact number, medications required and extra information.
SystmOnline
Use SystmOnline if your login is active and your repeat medication is visible there.
Prescription request form
Use the official form when appropriate. Include the exact medication name, strength, dose and any important context.
Pharmacy support
Pharmacists can advise on common minor illnesses and over-the-counter treatment. Pharmacy First may support some eligible conditions.
Avoid prescription delays: request medication early before weekends, holidays, exams, travel or work shifts. Do not expect same-day prescriptions unless the practice confirms it. If missing medication could cause harm, state that clearly.
What to write in a prescription request
- Medicine name and strength.
- How often you take it.
- How many days you have left.
- Your nominated pharmacy.
- Any side effects or changes.
When to contact urgently
If a missed dose may be unsafe, or you are running out of essential medicines, say so clearly. If the practice is closed and the medication issue is urgent, NHS 111 can signpost you.
Test results, fit notes and NHS App access
Test results
The practice says results such as blood tests, ECGs and X-rays usually take around 7 working days to return, and may take around 2 weeks from being received to be reviewed unless urgent.
You can use Accurx or call after 10:00 to ask about results. Unless urgent, avoid asking before the 2-week timeframe.
Fit notes
You normally do not need a doctor’s sickness certificate for illness lasting 7 days or less. If you are off sick for more than 7 days, your employer may ask for medical evidence.
The practice notes that doctors are not the only professionals who can issue a fit note.
NHS App
The official NHS App page says the app can support repeat prescriptions, test results, GP records, NHS 111 online, messages and other NHS services.
The page also notes booking appointments through NHS App is not currently available with the practice.
Privacy reminder: the test-results page says results are only given to the person they relate to unless that person has given prior permission or cannot understand them.
