Nelson Medical Practice key details
Important Nelson-specific point: routine GP appointment requests changed to the AskFirst App from 4 September 2024, while urgent clinical appointment/review requests can use Accurx, phone or in-person support.
Nelson Medical Practice appointments: choose the correct route first
| Need | Best route | What to include |
|---|---|---|
| Routine GP appointment | AskFirst App | One clear issue, symptoms, duration, medication, and what changed. |
| Urgent clinical review | Accurx, phone 020 3826 0826, or speak to a Patient Care Navigator | Say why it cannot wait, red flags, age, vulnerability, and best callback number. |
| Unable to use online systems | Phone or visit reception during opening hours | Reception/Patient Care Navigators can help you access the right request route. |
| Home visit request | Phone, visit reception, or email the practice | Only request if housebound; the practice will phone first to understand what is needed. |
| Cancel or change appointment | AskFirst / online route / reception support depending on booking type | Cancel early so another patient can use the appointment slot. |
Do not use the wrong route: AskFirst is useful for routine GP requests, but urgent symptoms should be handled through the urgent appointment/review route, NHS 111, or 999 if life-threatening.
