Decision hub: what should Danetre patients do first?

Use this before calling, travelling or submitting a request. It turns the official practice guidance into a simple next step.

Life-threatening emergency

Call 999. Do not wait for SystmConnect, the surgery phone queue or a callback.

GP or Advanced Practitioner appointment

Submit a SystmConnect request. If you cannot do it online, the Patient Services Care Co-ordinators can help by phone and the request is handled the same way.

Minor illness today

Advanced Nurse Practitioners and Paramedic Practitioners run weekday Minor Illness Clinics. They can prescribe, but they cannot see children under 5 or issue sick notes.

Treatment Room appointment

Blood tests, cervical screening and NHS Health Checks may be bookable online, but only if you meet the stated criteria.

Repeat prescription

Use online services, NHS App, email repeatmeds@nhs.net, or post your repeat slip. The practice says repeat requests are not taken by phone.

Surgery closed

Use NHS 111 online or call 111 for urgent non-life-threatening help. Call 999 for emergency danger signs.

How to request a GP or Advanced Practitioner appointment

Danetre Medical Practice says patients requesting a clinician appointment should complete a request using SystmConnect. This supports the NHS requirement for an assessment of need at first contact. Patients unable to complete it online can still get help over the phone.

Official appointments page SystmOnline Call 01327 703333

Check urgency first.
999 for danger signs. NHS 111 if urgent and the surgery is closed. Pharmacy First may help with common minor conditions.

Use SystmConnect for GP/ANP requests.
Write one clear main problem, when it started, what changed, medicines tried and why you need help now.

Phone if online is difficult.
The practice says Care Co-ordinators can continue to help by phone, and the request will be handled in the same manner for equity of access.

Use telephone appointments properly.
Telephone appointments are completed within the booked shift, not exactly at the online booking time. Morning shift calls are between 8am–1pm and afternoon shift calls are between 1pm–6:30pm.

Cancel if you cannot attend.
You can cancel by text reminder, NHS App, main phone line before the appointment, or email. Give 24 hours’ notice where possible.

Phone script for reception / care co-ordinator

Hello, my name is [name]. My date of birth is [date]. I am registered at Danetre Medical Practice. I need help because [one sentence]. I cannot / can use SystmConnect. It started [date]. It is [getting worse / not improving / affecting work or sleep]. Is this best for SystmConnect, Minor Illness Clinic, Treatment Room, pharmacy, NHS 111 or 999?

Late arrival rule: the practice says if you are more than 10 minutes late you will not be seen. For blood tests, the late limit is 5 minutes because of the appointment length and clinic flow.

Minor Illness Clinic: what it can and cannot do

Danetre’s Minor Illness Clinics run every weekday and are handled by experienced Advanced Nurse Practitioners and Paramedic Practitioners. They can prescribe when appropriate, but the practice says they cannot see anyone under 5 years old and cannot issue sick notes.

Can help with examples	Important limit	Best action
Aches and pains, headaches, dizziness, fever, coughs/colds, chest infections, sore throat, sinusitis, earache, sore eyes.	Not for severe breathing difficulty, chest pain or emergency symptoms.	Use SystmConnect / phone route unless emergency.
Rashes, eczema, cellulitis, infected wounds, insect bites/stings, sunburn, burns.	Severe burns, spreading infection with severe illness or sepsis signs need urgent care.	Use 111/999 depending on severity.
Diarrhoea, vomiting, constipation, cystitis/UTI, vaginal discharge, emergency contraception.	Under-5s cannot be seen in this clinic; sick notes cannot be issued.	Use correct GP or urgent route if outside scope.
Head lice, threadworms, hay fever, sties, nose bleeds.	Many minor conditions may also be handled through pharmacy self-care.	Consider Pharmacy First or local pharmacy advice.

Why this helps: many same-day minor conditions can be routed to ANP/paramedic clinics instead of waiting for a GP, while still allowing prescriptions when clinically appropriate.

Treatment Room appointments: book only if you meet the criteria

The practice says some Treatment Room appointments are now available online, including blood tests, cervical screening and NHS Health Checks. Incorrect bookings may need to be rebooked.

Appointment type	Book only if	Patient note
Blood test	Requested by your GP or ANP from Danetre Medical Practice only.	Do not self-book random bloods without a Danetre request.
Cervical screening	You received an invite from the Screening Team or are overdue.	If unsure, contact the results team to check your records.
NHS Health Check	You received a letter from the practice inviting you.	Bring the invitation if needed.
Interpreter support	You need help with telephone or Treatment Room consultation.	Tell the Patient Services Advisor when booking. The practice notes this will be a telephone interpreting service.

Test results: when to phone and how long they may take

For tests conducted at the practice, Danetre says to call 01327 703333 and press Option 3 for Results between 1:00pm and 4:30pm Monday to Friday.
