How to Get a GP Appointment at Winstree Medical Practice
The official appointment page separates urgent on-the-day requests from routine bookings. Using the correct route matters because 8am is specifically described as a busy period.
Urgent appointment today
Phone 01206 572372 at 8am if you need an urgent appointment for that day during normal opening.
Routine appointment
Routine appointments can be requested by phone, NHS account/NHS App, SystmOnline or the practice’s Accurx route.
Cancel or change
Use the NHS account/NHS App, SystmOnline or telephone reception during opening hours.
Why reception may ask what is wrong
Give a brief description
The practice says staff ask for a brief description of symptoms so they can allocate the most appropriate clinician.
Say if the issue is personal
If you do not want to explain details at reception, the official page says you can tell the receptionist that the matter is personal.
Avoid 8am for routine admin
The practice specifically asks patients with blood-result queries or other non-urgent questions to call later in the morning rather than adding to the urgent 8am demand.
Tell staff about access needs
When booking, mention interpreter, communication or accessibility needs and whether phone, face-to-face, video, text or email contact is appropriate where available.
Evening and Saturday Enhanced-Access Appointments
The practice says patients can ask for an enhanced-access appointment outside ordinary surgery opening times.
Weekday evenings
Enhanced-access appointments are listed between 6:30pm and 8:00pm, Monday to Friday.
Saturday
The practice lists enhanced-access availability between 9:00am and 5:00pm on Saturdays.
Repeat Prescriptions at Winstree Medical Practice
The practice provides several written and digital prescription routes, but it explicitly states that repeat prescription requests cannot be taken over the telephone.
NHS App or SystmOnline
Use your NHS account/NHS App or the SystmOnline GP system to request repeat medication already available to order.
The official prescription page lists prescriptions.gp-f81069@nhs.net as a repeat-prescription request route.
Written request
Requests can also be dropped into the surgery or dispensary, or sent by post. The practice says all requests must be in writing.
| Prescription type | Published processing time | Planning tip |
|---|---|---|
| Dispensed medication | Allow 4 working days | Allow extra calendar time around weekends and bank holidays. |
| Paper prescription | Allow 3 working days | Order before your current supply is nearly finished. |
How to Get Test Results
Once a doctor has reviewed a result, the practice provides NHS account, SystmOnline and telephone routes.
NHS account
Reviewed results can be visible through the NHS website or NHS App where record access is enabled.
SystmOnline
The practice also lists SystmOnline as a route for viewing reviewed test results.
Telephone
Phone 01206 572372 between midday and 1pm for results rather than calling during the busiest appointment period.
Questions about a result can also be sent through the practice’s Accurx service after the result has been reviewed.

If information is missing
Contact the surgery if you cannot see your record, need an older record, find incorrect information or need a printed or digital copy.
Referrals and a Useful Local Self-Referral Option
The practice provides both GP-referral routes and a list of services that patients can approach directly.
GP referral
To request or track a referral, the practice lists Accurx and telephone contact on 01206 572372.
Include enough information to help the practice understand what referral or follow-up you are asking about.
Skin lesion / mole diagnostic hub
The practice publishes a local self-referral route for eligible adults with suitable skin lesions or moles. Specific eligibility criteria apply, so check the official page rather than assuming every skin concern can be booked directly.
