How Appointments Work at Parkside Medical Practice
Parkside uses care navigation so the first step is understanding what help you need, rather than automatically booking every request with a GP.
Contact the practice
Use the online request service, call 0115 927 9119, or speak to reception in person.
Explain the main problem
Reception and care-navigation staff may ask brief questions so they can understand urgency and identify the most appropriate service.
The request is directed appropriately
Depending on the problem, the next step may involve a GP, another practice clinician, community pharmacist, physiotherapist, urgent community response team or local urgent-care service.
Watch for the practice response
Online and NHS App appointment requests are reviewed by a senior clinician. Parkside says it may contact patients by telephone, email or text with the next step.
Urgent Same-Day and Next-Day Appointments
Parkside says it offers same-day and next-day appointments for urgent health needs, including sudden illnesses and significant changes in long-term conditions that cannot safely wait for routine care.
Online request
Submit an e-consultation during core practice hours and give enough information for clinical assessment.
Telephone
Call 0115 927 9119 and explain that the problem is urgent and cannot safely wait for a routine appointment.
Reception
You can also speak to the reception team at Bulwell Riverside during opening hours.
Routine and Long-Term Condition Appointments
For an ongoing health problem, Parkside encourages continuity where practical because seeing the same clinician can help provide safer, more consistent care.
Online request
Use the practice’s e-consultation route to describe your routine issue or request a long-term condition review.
Phone or reception
Routine appointments can also be requested by calling the practice or speaking with reception.
Evening and Saturday Appointments
Patients have access to additional appointments through the Bulwell and Top Valley Primary Care Network.
| Extended Access period | Current published time | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Monday–Friday | 6:30pm–8:00pm | Additional appointments beyond normal core hours. |
| Saturday | 9:00am–5:00pm | Appointments may be delivered from another practice in the local PCN. |
Repeat Prescriptions at Parkside Medical Practice
Parkside’s current contact information directs patients towards digital repeat-prescription routes rather than using the reception telephone line as the default ordering method.
NHS App
Use the NHS App or NHS account to request medicines that are already listed as repeat medication.
Online request
The practice also provides its own online patient-request route for repeat medication and prescription-related queries.
SystmOne
Patients with a SystmOne online account can use that service for supported repeat-prescription requests.
Fit Notes and Sick Notes
First seven days
Parkside states that you can self-certify with your employer for the first seven days of an absence. The practice does not issue a fit note during that period simply because an employer requests one.
More than seven days
For a new condition lasting more than seven days, the practice says you need a consultation with a clinician before a fit note can be issued.
Extensions to an existing fit note can currently be requested online or by calling 0115 927 9119 and selecting the appropriate telephone option.

Parkside currently says it is welcoming new patients.
Check the practice area
Use the NHS GP finder if you want to check whether your address is inside Parkside’s core catchment.
Choose online or paper registration
Parkside provides online registration. A paper registration form can also be requested from reception.
Complete your patient details
Provide the information requested through the current registration route so the practice can register you and arrange transfer of your GP record.
Check which services apply to your address
This matters particularly if you are registering from outside the normal practice boundary.
Can You Register If You Live Outside the Parkside Catchment?
Yes. This is a useful Parkside-specific detail: the practice says it accepts patients who live outside its normal practice area.
Parkside explains that its Bulwell location may be convenient for commuters because the surgery is close to train, tram and bus services.
Home Visit Requests
Home visits are reserved for patients who are genuinely housebound and whose clinical needs make a home visit appropriate.
Phone reception
Call 0115 927 9119 before 10am where possible.
Explain why you cannot attend
Reception will ask brief questions about the health problem and why a surgery appointment is not suitable.
A clinician assesses the request
A doctor or advanced nurse practitioner decides whether a home visit is appropriate and how urgently care is required.
Parkside defines a housebound patient as someone who cannot leave home because of physical or mental illness, temporarily or permanently. Someone who can routinely leave home for shopping or appointments is not normally classed as housebound.
