Leyburn Medical Practice Appointments & Hours
Leyburn Medical Practice is based at Leyburn Health Centre on Brentwood. The most useful details for patients are the split weekday opening hours, how to request a same-day urgent appointment, which routes work for routine bookings and how the practice handles prescriptions, test results and out-of-hours care.

Address and Contact Details
How to Book an Appointment at Leyburn Medical Practice
Doctors, nurses and specialist staff work by appointment. The correct route depends on whether your problem is urgent, routine, suitable for an online request or needs care outside normal surgery hours.
Urgent same-day request
Phone reception on 01969 622391 before 12 noon if you believe you need an urgent same-day GP appointment.
Routine appointment
Routine appointments can be requested by phone, through your NHS account, with the practice online form or at reception.
Online medical request
The practice’s online consultation can be used for non-urgent medical requests. The practice says a clinician aims to respond within two working days.
Urgent Same-Day GP Requests
For a genuine urgent problem, Leyburn Medical Practice asks patients to telephone 01969 622391 before 12 noon. The problem will be assessed, so reception needs enough information to help the clinical team decide the appropriate response.
Phone before 12 noon
Use the main practice number rather than waiting for a routine online-form response.
Explain why the problem is urgent
Give clear information to the receptionist. You may be asked to speak to a doctor or nurse as part of the assessment.
The practice assesses the request
Where possible, genuine urgent problems can be seen on the same day. A different service or appointment may be offered if same-day GP care is not considered necessary.

How to Get Test Results
The practice does not routinely contact patients when annual-review results are within the expected range and no action is needed. If a result shows that further tests or treatment are required, the practice says it will contact you.

Open the online registration route
The practice provides an online registration form from its registration page.
Have your NHS number if you know it
The practice says this is helpful when registering, although NHS guidance provides a route to find your NHS number if needed.
Watch for practice messages
New patients are automatically opted into the practice text-messaging service unless they tell reception they want to opt out.
Sick Notes and Fit Notes
Seven days or less
The practice explains that employees normally self-certify rather than obtaining medical evidence from a GP for the first seven days of sickness.
More than seven days
Use the practice online form or phone to arrange the appropriate fit-note request.
Home Visit Requests
Home visits are intended for patients whose medical condition means they genuinely need to be seen at home. Leyburn asks patients to phone reception before 10am where possible.
If Leyburn Medical Practice Is Closed
Use for a life-threatening emergency or serious injury.
Use when the surgery is closed and you need urgent healthcare advice that is not a 999 emergency.
