Crown Medical Practice appointments, phone number, opening hours and patient routes
Crown Medical Practice is an NHS GP surgery in Tamworth with two listed sites: Tamworth Health Centre, Upper Gungate, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 7EA and Stonydelph Health Centre, Ellerbeck, Stonydelph, Tamworth, B77 4JA. The reception phone number is 01827 315 355. Patients commonly search for Crown Medical Practice appointments, opening hours, Anima, prescriptions, registration, NHS App, test results, CQC rating, Tamworth Health Centre and Stonydelph Health Centre. This guide explains each search intent as a practical next step.
Two sites
Check whether your appointment is at Tamworth Health Centre or Stonydelph Health Centre. Do not travel to the wrong site just because the text says “Crown Medical Practice.”
Phone number
Call 01827 315 355 for reception, nurse appointments, cancellation help, access support and urgent GP help during opening times.
Opening hours
Both listed sites show Monday to Friday, 8am to 6:30pm. Saturday and Sunday are listed as closed.
New patients
The NHS profile says Crown Medical Practice is currently accepting new patients. Registration still depends on catchment and eligibility.
Online requests
The official appointment page says all appointment requests now need to be submitted through Anima, with answers used to choose the right clinician or service.
Emergency rule
Do not use Anima or a routine GP request for life-threatening symptoms. Use 999 for serious medical or mental health emergencies.
Most important Crown-specific point: this is a two-site Tamworth practice. Before attending, check the appointment message for Tamworth Health Centre or Stonydelph Health Centre. The same phone number is listed for both sites.
What do you need from Crown Medical Practice today?
Use this route finder before submitting a request. It separates Anima appointment requests, nurse bookings, prescriptions, registration, test results, fit notes, urgent care and emergency routes.
Crown GP route finder
This tool is general signposting only. It does not diagnose symptoms or replace urgent medical care.
5-step workflow before contacting Crown Medical Practice
This workflow reduces delays by choosing the safest route first, avoiding vague requests and preventing wrong-site travel.
Check urgency first
Use 999 for life-threatening medical or mental health emergencies. Use NHS 111 if the practice is closed and you need urgent non-emergency help.
Use Anima for appointment requests
The official appointments page says all appointment requests now need to be submitted through Anima so the practice can choose the most suitable doctor, nurse or healthcare professional.
Write one clear issue
Include symptom, start date, severity, medication, allergies, preferred response type, interpreter or access needs, and callback availability.
Use the right admin route
Use prescriptions, test results, fit notes, registration, records or online access pages for admin tasks instead of sending every request as a GP appointment.
Check the site before travelling
Confirm whether you need Tamworth Health Centre or Stonydelph Health Centre. Both are Crown Medical Practice sites, but they are different places.
How to request an NHS GP appointment at Crown Medical Practice
The official appointments page says you can contact a doctor, nurse or other healthcare professional online using Anima, and that all appointment requests now need to be submitted through this service. During core hours, non-urgent requests are reviewed the same day and actioned based on the information you provide.
| Route | Best for | What to prepare | When not to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anima online request | GP, nurse or healthcare professional help where an online request is suitable. | Clear issue, duration, medication, urgency, preferred response type and availability. | Do not use for life-threatening symptoms or emergency mental health risk. |
| NHS account / NHS App | Some appointment tasks, screening tests, vaccination booking, cancellations and online account tasks. | NHS login details and enough information for safe routing. | Do not assume every appointment type is directly bookable in the app. |
| Patient Access | Online system tasks where enabled, including appointment and prescription functions. | Login details; first-time setup may require identity confirmation. | Do not use someone else’s account without correct proxy access. |
| Phone: 01827 315 355 | Nurse appointment booking, access needs, urgent help during opening times, cancellation help and digital exclusion. | Name, date of birth, phone number, symptoms, medication and appointment site if known. | Do not phone routine reception instead of calling 999 for emergency symptoms. |
| NHS 111 | Urgent non-emergency help when the practice is closed or you are unsure what to do. | Symptoms, age, medication, allergies, address and callback information. | Use 999 if someone is seriously ill, injured or their life is at risk. |
Urgent appointment request
For urgent help during opening times, call the practice. If closed, use NHS 111 online or call 111. Do not wait for a routine online response if the situation feels unsafe.
Routine appointment request
Use Anima during opening times or NHS account/Patient Access where supported. The practice uses your answers to decide who should help and how.
Access needs: the official appointments page says to tell the practice if you prefer phone, face-to-face, video, text/email, need an interpreter, or have other communication/access needs.
What to write in Anima or say on the phone
Strong request example
Weak request example
This is too vague. It does not explain symptoms, duration, urgency, medication, access needs or whether the issue is suitable for GP, nurse, pharmacy, NHS 111 or emergency care.
Crown Medical Practice opening hours
The official opening-times and contact pages list both Tamworth Health Centre and Stonydelph Health Centre as open Monday to Friday, 8am to 6:30pm, and closed on Saturday and Sunday. Opening times can still change for bank holidays, training days and local service updates, so check the official page before travelling.
| Site | Monday to Friday | Weekend | Practical note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tamworth Health Centre Upper Gungate, B79 7EA |
8am to 6:30pm | Saturday closed, Sunday closed | Check this site if your appointment text mentions Tamworth Health Centre or Upper Gungate. |
| Stonydelph Health Centre Ellerbeck, B77 4JA |
8am to 6:30pm | Saturday closed, Sunday closed | Check this site if your appointment text mentions Stonydelph or Ellerbeck. |
| When closed | Use official out-of-hours guidance | NHS 111 or 999 depending on severity | NHS 111 online is for people aged 5 and over; call 111 for children under 5. |
Before travelling: check the official contact/opening page, appointment message and site name. The practice has two listed locations, and arriving at the wrong one can waste your appointment time.

NHS 111, urgent help and 999 near Crown Medical Practice
Routine GP requests are not emergency services. Crown Medical Practice’s appointment and opening pages direct patients to NHS 111 when closed and 999 for medical or mental health emergencies where life is at risk.
Call 999 now
Use 999 for a medical or mental health emergency where someone is seriously ill, injured, or their life is at risk.

Use NHS 111 online or call 111 if you need urgent medical help and are not sure what to do, especially when the surgery is closed.

Crown Medical Practice map: Tamworth Health Centre and Stonydelph Health Centre
Crown Medical Practice has two listed sites. Use your appointment text and official contact page to confirm whether you should attend Tamworth Health Centre, Upper Gungate, B79 7EA or Stonydelph Health Centre, Ellerbeck, B77 4JA.
Tamworth Health Centre
Main CQC/NHS-listed site: Upper Gungate, Tamworth, B79 7EA. Use this map unless your appointment message says Stonydelph.
Stonydelph Health Centre
Branch site: Ellerbeck, Stonydelph, Tamworth, B77 4JA. Confirm the exact site before travelling.
Access and travel
If parking, step-free access, interpreter support or appointment location is essential, call before travelling.
NHS App video for repeat prescriptions
Crown Medical Practice’s prescriptions page lists NHS account/NHS App as a repeat prescription route. This general NHS App video is included because repeat prescriptions and online account access are common GP tasks.
This is general NHS App guidance, not a Crown Medical Practice-specific appointment rule. Always follow the official Crown Medical Practice website for local Anima, prescription and appointment instructions.
Common Crown Medical Practice mistakes to avoid
Going to the wrong site
Check whether your appointment is at Tamworth Health Centre or Stonydelph Health Centre.
