This is general signposting only. It does not diagnose symptoms or replace urgent medical help.
5-step Market Street patient workflow before you contact the surgery
Most GP access delays happen when a patient uses the wrong route, gives too little information, or searches the wrong Market Street practice. Use this order before submitting a request, phoning or travelling.
Confirm this is the Droylsden practice
Check the address is 76 Market Street, Droylsden, Manchester, M43 6DE. Do not rely only on the name “Market Street Medical Practice.”
Decide if it is emergency, urgent, routine or admin
Emergency symptoms need 999. Urgent but non-emergency out-of-hours needs NHS 111. Routine/admin requests can use online consultation or NHS App where appropriate.
Use the right appointment route
Use online consultation for non-urgent/admin requests, phone for urgent same-day review, and routine booking routes for planned telephone or nurse appointments.
Write one clear request
Include symptom, duration, medication, what changed, whether it is getting worse, what you tried and when you can take a call.
Check opening/closure details before travelling
The practice lists weekday opening, weekend closure, bank-holiday closure and Tameside TARGET half-day closures. Check current contact page before setting off.
How to request an NHS GP appointment at Market Street Medical Practice
The official appointments page gives several routes: online consultation, NHS App/NHS account, emergency on-the-day clinic, telephone advice, routine telephone appointments, nurse appointments and home visits. The important practical point is to match the route to the urgency and type of need.
| Route | Best for | What to prepare | When not to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online consultation | Non-urgent medical or admin requests, MED3/admin questions, and structured GP queries. | One problem, symptoms, duration, medicines, photos/documents if requested, and contact availability. | Do not use for life-threatening symptoms or a same-day emergency that cannot safely wait. |
| NHS App / NHS account | Appointments and prescriptions where enabled, NHS login access and some record/test-result tasks. | NHS login details and current contact information. | Do not assume every appointment type is directly bookable through the app. |
| Phone 0161 371 6188 | Urgent same-day review, patients who cannot use online services, or phone advice requests. | Name, date of birth, symptom details, medication, urgency, callback number and access needs. | Do not phone routine reception instead of 999 for emergency symptoms. |
| Emergency on-the-day clinic | Issues that cannot wait. The official page says patients can call from 08:30. | Why it cannot wait, whether symptoms are worsening, and whether you can attend if offered. | Not for routine admin, repeat prescriptions or non-urgent form requests. |
| Routine GP telephone appointment | Planned doctor discussion. The practice says routine telephone appointments can be booked up to 4 weeks in advance. | A focused issue; ask for longer/double appointment if you need to discuss more than one problem. | Not for emergency symptoms or urgent same-day deterioration. |
| Home visit request | Patients medically unable to attend the practice. Same-day requests should be made before 11:30am. | Why you cannot attend, symptoms, medication, safety concerns and best phone number. | Not for convenience, transport-only issues or emergencies requiring 999. |
Urgent on-the-day clinic
The official appointments page says the practice offers an emergency on-the-day clinic every weekday for issues that cannot wait. Call the surgery from 08:30 and explain clearly why same-day review is needed.
Official context: official appointments page.
Routine telephone appointments
Routine telephone appointments with a GP are described as bookable up to 4 weeks in advance. They are listed as 15-minute appointments, so ask for a longer appointment if you have multiple or complex issues.
Official context: official appointment guidance.
Appointment safety note: the official page says some problems cannot be dealt with by phone and you may be asked to attend the practice. Keep your phone available and make sure reception has your current contact number.
What to write online or say when phoning Market Street Medical Practice
Strong request example
Weak request example
This does not tell reception or the clinical team what is wrong, how urgent it is, how long it has been happening, what medicine you take, or whether a nurse, pharmacist, phone call or urgent route is safer.
Market Street Medical Practice opening hours
The official contact page shows Market Street Medical Practice as open Monday to Friday and closed Saturday/Sunday. It also notes bank-holiday closure and monthly Tameside TARGET half-day protected learning closures. Because the official website shows slightly different start times in different areas, treat telephone lines open at 8:00am as the safest practical phone-access detail and check the live contact page before travelling.
| Day | Official-site practical reading | Patient action |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Weekday opening listed; phone lines from 8:00am. | Use online route for non-urgent requests or phone for urgent same-day issues. |
| Tuesday | Weekday opening listed; phone lines from 8:00am. | Prepare symptom details before calling or submitting a request. |
| Wednesday | Weekday opening listed; phone lines from 8:00am. | Routine telephone appointments may be bookable in advance. |
| Thursday | Weekday opening listed, but check TARGET half-day closures. | If closure applies from 12:30pm, follow official Go To Doc / NHS 111 instructions. |
| Friday | Weekday opening listed; phone lines from 8:00am. | Avoid leaving prescription requests or admin tasks until late Friday. |
| Saturday | Closed. | Use NHS 111 for urgent non-emergency help or 999 for emergencies. |
| Sunday | Closed. | Use NHS 111, urgent care or 999 depending on severity. |
TARGET closure note: the contact page says Tameside practices may close for monthly protected learning. If advice cannot wait during a listed Thursday afternoon closure, the practice page directs patients to Go To Doc on 0161 336 5958 between 12:30 and 18:30, and NHS 111 at other times.
Register with Market Street Medical Practice
The NHS profile shows Market Street Medical Practice is currently accepting new patients. The official registration page says the practice actively welcomes new patients, but asks for a registration form, proof of identity and address, a lifestyle questionnaire, and a health check with the practice nurse or HCA within 28 days of registering.
Check this is your local practice
The registration page says there may be reasons you cannot register, such as living too far away. If you are outside the area, choose another local GP.
Bring proof and forms
Prepare proof of identity, address, previous GP details, current medicines, allergies and your NHS number if known.
Book the new-patient health check
The official page advises booking a health check within 28 days. It also says failure to book and attend screening may affect GP access.
| Prepare this | Why it matters | Practical tip |
|---|---|---|
| Proof of identity and address | The official page says the practice asks for proof when registering. | Ask reception if you do not have standard documents. |
| NHS number | Helps identify your NHS record correctly. | Find it in the NHS App or official NHS number finder. |
| Previous GP details | Records may take several weeks to arrive. | Include the previous surgery name and town if known. |
| Current medicines and allergies | Important for safe prescribing while records transfer. | Do not wait until medication runs out before registering. |
| Lifestyle questionnaire | The practice uses it to understand health needs. | Complete it honestly and bring it to the practice if requested. |
Named GP note: the registration page explains that patients are allocated a named GP, but this does not stop you from seeing any GP or nurse in the practice.
Official context: official new-patient registration page.
Repeat prescriptions, NHS App and pharmacy help
The official prescription page says online services are easier and quicker for repeat prescription requests. It asks patients to allow two full working days for processing, to account for weekends and bank holidays, and says repeat medication requests are accepted in writing to avoid wrong medication being issued.
Online service / Patient Access
Use online services where registered to manage repeat prescriptions. This reduces phone pressure and helps avoid unclear medicine requests.
NHS App / NHS account
The practice page points patients to the NHS App/NHS account for online NHS services, including appointments and prescriptions where supported.
Written request or form
If not registered for online services, use the repeat prescription request form, post a written request, or return the prescription slip/right-hand repeat side.
Prescription delay prevention: request early, include medicine name, strength, dose, how many days remain and chosen pharmacy. The practice warns that repeated “run out or about to run out” urgent requests cause disruption and may be questioned carefully.
| Prescription issue | Practical answer | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| Regular repeat medication | Use online services/NHS App or written repeat request. | Allow two full working days. |
| Not registered for online services | Use the repeat prescription request form. | Register for online services if appropriate. |
| Stoma or continence supplies | The page warns to keep enough supplies around closures and bank holidays. | Order earlier than usual before holidays. |
| Minor ailment | The practice page says pharmacies can provide advice and treatment for minor ailments. | Consider a local pharmacy if suitable and symptoms are not serious. |
Official context: official repeat prescription page.
Test results, referrals, sick notes and online services
Test results
Use the official tests and investigations route, NHS App/NHS account where available, or contact reception if advised. Do not assume a result has been reviewed until the practice confirms it.

Patient record and NHS App
The practice website links to NHS App/NHS account and online-services pages for secure access to NHS services.
Official context: official NHS App page.
