How to request an NHS GP appointment at Cranleigh Medical Practice
The official appointments page says you can request an appointment using an online form, through the NHS App, by phoning the surgery, or in person. The practice reviews requests and uses the information you provide to decide urgency, who can help and whether an in-person appointment is needed.
| Route | Best for | What to prepare | When not to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online “Help with a medical issue” form | Registered patients who can describe one medical issue clearly. | Symptoms, duration, medication, urgency, photos if relevant, and callback availability. | Do not use for emergencies or if the form is switched off and the issue is urgent. |
| NHS App / NHS account | Patients who want to use NHS login for requests, prescriptions, records and results. | NHS login details and a clear description of the request. | Do not assume every appointment type is directly bookable without triage. |
| Phone: 01483 273951 | Patients who cannot use online forms, need access help or need reception guidance. | Name, date of birth, phone number, symptoms and why the request is urgent if it is urgent. | Do not phone routine reception instead of 999 for life-threatening symptoms. |
| In person | Patients who cannot use digital routes and need reception help at the surgery. | ID if requested, registration details if relevant and the reason for your visit. | Do not travel without checking opening hours and appointment location. |
| Pharmacy First / local pharmacy | Some minor illnesses where a pharmacist may help faster. | Symptoms, age, pregnancy status if relevant, allergies and current medicines. | Use GP, NHS 111 or 999 if symptoms are severe, worsening or concerning. |
Online form timing: the practice appointment page says the “Help with a medical issue” form is usually available between 8am and 4pm, Monday to Friday, and may be switched off for safety reasons. Do not use the admin query form for medical appointment requests.

Register with Cranleigh Medical Practice
The NHS profile says Cranleigh Medical Practice is currently accepting new patients. The official registration page says patients usually need to live within the practice boundary, and paper forms are still available if needed.
Check catchment first
The practice says it can only register patients who currently live within the catchment area. Use the official postcode checker before applying.
Register online
The practice uses the NHS “Register with a GP surgery” service. The official registration page says you do not need proof of address, immigration status, ID or NHS number for the online NHS service.
Medication safety
Have at least one month’s supply of regular medication because records can take time to arrive from your previous GP.
| Prepare this | Why it matters | Delay-avoidance tip |
|---|---|---|
| Current address | Registration depends on the practice catchment area. | Use your current Cranleigh/Surrey address, not an old address. |
| NHS number if known | Helpful for matching records, though the NHS online service may not require it. | Find it on prescriptions, letters or through the NHS number finder. |
| Previous GP details | Helps transfer your record correctly. | Include practice name and town if you remember them. |
| Medication proof | The practice asks for official proof of repeat medication when registering, especially for higher-risk medicines. | Bring a reorder slip, medication list or official document from the previous practice. |
| Allergies and conditions | Important for safe prescribing and appointment triage. | List exact medicine names and reactions where possible. |
Temporary resident note: the official registration page explains that temporary registration may apply for up to 3 months if you are staying in the area but do not want to change your home GP.
Repeat prescriptions, medicines and pharmacy help
The official prescription page says repeat prescriptions can be ordered through the NHS App/NHS account, using an online form, or in person at the surgery. It also says repeat prescriptions cannot be ordered by phone for patient safety.
NHS App / NHS account
Best first route if your repeat medicine is visible in your NHS account. It reduces repeated personal detail entry.
Online form
The practice recommends the form mainly when patients do not have access to other online services like the NHS App.
In person
If you have a repeat prescription slip, the official page says you can drop it off at the prescription drop-in box.
Avoid medicine delays: include medicine name, strength, dosage, how many days you have left, pharmacy nomination and any reason the request is urgent. Do not assume same-day approval.
Medication review
The official page says regular medicines should be checked at least once a year. Ask for a review if you have side effects or the medicine no longer seems right.
Old or unused medicines
Return old or unused medicines, including inhalers, to a local pharmacy. Do not put them in household bins or flush them away.
Test results, fit notes, referrals and medical records
Test results
The official test-results page says you can view results online or contact the surgery. It covers results such as blood tests, urine tests, x-rays and ultrasounds.
Phone timing: the official page says to call about test results after 2pm.
Fit note / sick note
If you are off sick for 7 days or less, you usually self-certify. If you are off sick for more than 7 days, your employer may ask for a fit note.
If your treatment is from hospital, ask the hospital doctor for the fit note.
Records and referrals
The NHS App/NHS account may let you view records, results and some referral information. You may need to ask the surgery for access once.
For referral questions, patient privacy rules usually mean details are shared directly with the patient unless consent is documented.
Privacy reminder: reception staff may be able to relay comments that are already available, but they are not trained to interpret test results. Use the online route or clinician review route if you need medical context.
