Decision hub: what should you do first?

Use this before phoning, emailing or travelling. It helps avoid the common mistake of using the wrong NHS route.

Life-threatening emergency

Call 999. Use this for chest pain, stroke signs, collapse, severe breathing difficulty, severe bleeding, serious injury or someone not responding.

Urgent but not life-threatening

Use NHS 111 online or call 111. NHS 111 is available every day and can refer to out-of-hours services when appropriate.

Routine GP appointment or advice

Submit an Accurx form. The practice uses total triage, so your request is reviewed before the right appointment, advice or action is offered.

Repeat prescription

Use NHS App, SystmOnline, prescription request form, email, phone option 1, prescription slip or post. Do not use emergency routes for routine repeats.

Housebound or too ill to attend

Request a home visit only if medically needed. The practice asks patients to phone before 11am where possible.

Fit note or admin request

Use Accurx for admin requests such as sick notes, blood results and medication reviews, or phone reception if you cannot use online forms.

Opening hours, phone lines and out-of-hours help

The most useful patient distinction is this: the practice may show wider site/opening information, but the official site lists phone lines as Monday to Friday 8am to 6:30pm.

Official practice homepage Official contact page Out-of-hours page NHS listing

Need	Official route	What to do
Phone reception	Phone lines Monday to Friday 8am–6:30pm.	Call 01522 543 943, option 3 for reception.
Prescription phone line	Option 1 on the main phone number.	Use this only when phone is the right prescription route.
Cancel appointment	Option 2 on the main phone number.	Cancel early so another patient can use the slot.
Closed / urgent help	NHS 111 online or 111 by phone.	NHS 111 can advise and refer to out-of-hours services at Lincoln County Hospital if appropriate.
Emergency	999 or A&E.	Use 999 for life-threatening symptoms.

Bank holiday caution: Accurx and routine practice services exclude bank holidays. Order medicines and request admin documents early before long weekends.

How to request a Brayford Medical Practice appointment

The official appointment page says routine appointment requests should be submitted through Accurx. The practice has taken a total triage approach, meaning reception and a triaging clinician review requests and decide whether you need an appointment, advice/treatment, or more information.

Official appointment page Official Accurx page

Check urgency first.
999 for danger signs. NHS 111 for urgent care that is not life-threatening. Accurx or reception for routine GP requests.

Submit the Accurx form if you can.
Give clear symptoms, timing, medication, allergies, what you have tried and what outcome you need.

Expect triage, not instant booking.
The practice may contact you to book, give advice/treatment, or ask for more information.

Watch for message-based booking.
The practice says appointment booking may be done by message, and you may be asked to confirm attendance.

Phone if you cannot use online access.
Reception can still ask triage questions by phone.

Accurx triage: what it is for and when it is open

“The hospital asked me to contact GP about…”	Helps the practice decide if hospital or GP should action it.

Repeat prescriptions: all official ways to order

Official prescription page NHS prescription guidance

NHS App and SystmOnline: what you can and cannot do

Home visits: who can request one and when to phone

Home visits are for patients who are clinically housebound or too ill to attend the surgery based on clinical assessment.

Official home visits page

Question	Official answer	Practical note
Who can have a home visit?	Patients who are unwell and need to see a clinician but cannot attend the practice.	Request only if medically needed.
When should I call?	The practice asks patients to try to phone before 11am on the day of the visit request.	Earlier is safer for triage planning.
Will someone visit automatically?	No. An initial telephone consultation may be booked or a visit arranged after assessment.	Give symptoms, mobility limits and safety concerns.
Nursing care at home?	District nurses may visit housebound, elderly, terminally ill or recently discharged patients who need nursing care.	Contact through reception on 01522 543943.

Fit notes, sick notes and going back to work

The official fitness-to-work page explains the 7-day rule and what a fit note can say.

Official fit note page Self-certification guidance

Situation	What to do	Important detail
Sick for 7 days or less	Use self-certification for your employer.	Your employer should not normally require GP evidence for the first 7 days.
Sick for more than 7 days	Request medical evidence / fit note.	A fit note can say “not fit for work” or “may be fit for work”.
Need work adjustments	Ask whether “may be fit” is appropriate.	Examples include reduced hours, different hours, different duties or support.
Want a note saying fit to return	The page says clinicians cannot issue a fit note saying you are fit for work.	You can return when you feel able and your employer agrees.
Hospital discharge sick note	The ward should issue this before discharge where needed.	If not, contact the practice; extensions can be requested when the hospital note expires.

Doctors, ANPs and who may handle your request

The official team page lists GPs and an Advanced Nurse Practitioner team. The healthcare professionals page explains that ANPs can deal with many conditions and symptoms, but there are limits.
