How to request an NHS GP appointment at Hockley Medical Practice
The official appointment page separates urgent and routine requests. Urgent appointments for today or tomorrow can be requested by phone or in person during weekday opening hours. Routine appointments in the next 7 days can be requested through the online GP appointment system / AccuRx, phone, reception, or NHS App/NHS account for supported screening and vaccination bookings.
| Route | Best for | What to prepare | When not to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| AccuRx / online GP appointment system | Routine appointment requests, non-urgent medical issues and some admin requests. | Symptoms, duration, medication, preferred contact method, access needs and availability. | Do not use online forms for serious emergency symptoms. |
| Phone: 0121 554 1757 | Urgent appointments for today/tomorrow, patients who cannot use online forms, home visit requests and reception help. | Name, date of birth, phone number, main problem, urgency and whether you can attend surgery. | Do not wait on phone if symptoms are life-threatening; call 999. |
| Visit reception | Patients who need in-person help, privacy at reception, communication support or registration forms. | Clear reason, ID if registering for online services, and any access needs. | Do not travel without checking hours if you are unsure the practice is open. |
| NHS App / NHS account | Booking/cancelling supported appointments, ordering prescriptions, viewing records and checking test results where enabled. | NHS login, linked GP record and pharmacy details. | Not every GP appointment type will be directly bookable through the app. |
| Extended access | Non-urgent evening/weekend appointments where available through local practice partnership. | Ask reception whether extended access fits your issue. | You may not be seen at your registered practice or by your usual clinician. |

Register with Hockley Medical Practice
The NHS profile shows Hockley Medical Practice is currently accepting new patients. The practice says doctors welcome new patients who live within the practice area, and asks users to check the catchment area before completing the online new patient registration form.
Check practice area first
If you live in or around Hockley, Winson Green, Handsworth, Handsworth Wood, Perry Barr, Great Barr or Walsall, check the official catchment map before applying.
Online registration
Once you confirm you live within the boundary, complete the official online New Patient Registration form. Reception can also provide paper forms.
New patient health check
The practice says all new patients are invited to make an appointment for a health check with the practice nurse.
| Prepare this | Why it helps | Helpful tip |
|---|---|---|
| Current address | Registration depends on living within the practice area. | Use your current Birmingham address, not an old address. |
| NHS number | Helps match your records correctly. | Find it on NHS letters, prescriptions or the NHS number finder. |
| Previous GP details | Supports record transfer from your old surgery. | Include practice name and town if known. |
| Medication and allergies | Important for safe care before your old notes fully transfer. | Register before you run out of medication. |
| Photo ID for online services | The online-services page says photo ID is needed at surgery to issue username/password for Patient Access. | Ask reception what documents are acceptable before attending. |
Zero tolerance note: the practice registration page says the practice does not accept zero tolerance patients, and non-disclosure at registration may result in removal from the practice list. Follow the official wording carefully when registering.
Repeat prescriptions, medicines and pharmacy help
The official online-services page says Patient Access and NHS App services can be used for repeat prescriptions where enabled. The NHS App can also help patients view available medicines, request repeat prescriptions and choose a nominated pharmacy.
NHS App
Use the NHS App if your GP record is linked and repeat medication is visible. Check your nominated pharmacy before submitting.
Patient Access
Patient Access can support repeat prescriptions and appointment management. New users may need to visit the surgery with photo ID to register.
Pharmacy help
Pharmacy First may help with certain minor illnesses and urgent repeat medicine supply. Walk into a local pharmacy or ask NHS 111/practice for direction.
Avoid prescription delays: include medicine name, strength, dosage, nominated pharmacy and how many days you have left. Do not wait until the last tablet. Do not expect same-day approval unless the practice or pharmacist specifically confirms it.
AccuRx, Patient Access and NHS App at Hockley Medical Practice
Hockley Medical Practice lists multiple online-service routes. The practical choice depends on your task: appointment request, repeat prescription, record access, test result, cancellation or admin question.
AccuRx
Best for contacting the practice online with appointment, medical or admin information where the current AccuRx route is available.
Patient Access
Can be used to book, check or cancel appointments, order repeat prescriptions and see parts of your GP health record where enabled.
NHS App
Can support symptom checking, appointment tasks, repeat prescriptions, GP record access and test-result access where enabled by the practice.
Fit note / sick note
If you have been off sick for more than 7 days, the official fit-note page says you can request a sick note in your AccuRx account or phone/visit the surgery from 10am to 6pm. If you have been off sick for 7 days or less, your employer should usually use self-certification.
Test results and records
Use online services where enabled to view parts of your GP record, including medication, vaccinations and test results. For sensitive or unclear results, contact the practice using official routes.
NHS 111, Pharmacy First, walk-in centres and 999 near Hockley Medical Practice
Routine GP requests are not emergency services. Choose the safest route based on symptom severity, timing and whether the practice is open.
Call 999 now
Use 999 for life-threatening symptoms such as chest pain, severe breathing difficulty, stroke signs, collapse, severe bleeding, serious injury, seizure not stopping or severe allergic reaction.
Use NHS 111
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.
Try Pharmacy First
Pharmacy First may help with sinusitis, sore throat, earache, infected insect bites, impetigo, shingles and uncomplicated UTIs in eligible patients.
Do not wait for a GP reply if someone may be seriously ill or injured. The official appointment page says to call 999 in a medical or mental health emergency when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk.
Nearest walk-in centre mentioned by the practice
The official appointments page mentions Birmingham NHS Walk-In Centre, Lower Ground Floor, Boots The Chemists, 66 High Street, Birmingham, B4 7TA, with phone 0121 255 4500. Check current opening and suitability before travelling.
Hockley Medical Practice map: 60 Lion Court, Carver Street, Birmingham B1 3AL
Use the full official address in Google Maps: Hockley Medical Practice, 60 Lion Court, Carver Street, Hockley, Birmingham, B1 3AL. CQC sometimes displays the address as 60 Carver Street, so the full Lion Court address is safer for directions.
Parking and access
The contact listing says the practice has disabled parking spaces and a disabled toilet. Confirm before travelling if parking or access support is essential.
Accessibility
The practice information says the centre has suitable access for disabled patients and a hearing loop is available at reception.
Arrival tip
Leave extra time for Birmingham traffic, reception check-in, registration forms or communication support. Bring your appointment message if attending a booked Saturday or extended-access slot.
NHS App video: repeat prescriptions and GP online services
Hockley Medical Practice lists NHS App and online services for common GP tasks. This official-style NHS App video is included because repeat prescriptions and GP online access are common user needs.
This is general NHS App guidance, not a Hockley Medical Practice-specific video. Always follow the official Hockley Medical Practice website for local appointment, online-service and prescription instructions.
