How to Request an Appointment
Radford uses a patient-triage approach. You explain what you need help with, and the practice decides the most appropriate next step based on clinical need.
Choose routine or urgent
Routine requests can start online from 8am on weekdays, by phone or at reception. For an urgent appointment needed today, phone or visit the surgery.
Explain the main problem
The practice asks what you need help with. Give a short but useful description rather than simply requesting “a GP appointment”.
Tell them about communication needs
Mention interpreter requirements, accessibility needs and whether you prefer telephone, face-to-face or video where possible.
Wait for the next-step decision
The practice says it will consider the request and tell you within one working day what happens next.
The response may not be a traditional GP visit
You may be offered an appointment, telephone call, video consultation, text response, pharmacy advice or another NHS service depending on the request.
Evening and Saturday Extended Access
The practice says some appointments are available outside its ordinary opening hours.
Monday to Friday
Extended-access appointments are listed from 4pm to 8pm.
Saturday
Extended-access appointments are listed from 9am to 5pm.
These appointments need to be arranged through the surgery and should not be confused with ordinary Saturday opening at Radford Health Centre.
Repeat Prescriptions
The easiest published route is the NHS account through the NHS website or NHS App.
NHS App / account
Your repeat medicines and doses are shown so you can select the items you need.
Online practice form
The practice also provides a repeat-prescription request form.

A paper repeat request can be taken to the surgery while it is open.
If you have a medicine question rather than a repeat request, the practice says patients can phone its pharmacist after 10am or send an online form.

Arrange the new-patient check
After the registration period, the practice asks patients to phone the surgery to organise their new-patient check.
Sick Notes and Fit Notes
