Appointments

All Doctor, Physician Associate and Nurse Practitioner appointments are 12 minutes. The practice works on a one problem one appointment basis. If you would like to discuss more than one problem, please inform the receptionist you require an extended appointment if availale.

When booking an appointment, we ask that you give the receptionist as much information as possible to ensure you are booked with the most appropriate healthcare professional.

Northfield and Field Road Surgery has implemented the “Care Navigation Training Programme” and we have trained our receptionists and clerical staff; this will help them to help patients identify the most appropriate place for their care.

You will notice your receptionist asking you for a brief outline of your problem when you call to make an appointment.

Through this specialist care navigation training, the receptionists can offer you more choice on who the best healthcare Clinician may be in the practice and also help direct you to get to the right care fast. Receptionists will never offer clinical advice or triage; this new way of working is about offering the choice to see other specialists in the practice team. If they have the expertise to deal with the problem; it will often be quicker, and you may not need to see the GP each time.

For example, medication queries could be managed by our Medication/Prescription Team on Option 1, and you may not be aware of this if you haven’t visited the practice in a while.

By working this way, it helps to free up time for GPs to care for patients with complex or serious health conditions that can only be managed by the GP. More importantly though, it means people are seen by the Clinician that is best placed to manage your clinical problem. The choice is always yours though and you will never be refused a GP appointment, but we hope that next time you contact your GP and speak with the receptionist you will see the value of seeing another health Clinician if they are able to help

The practice has a strict do not attend policy. We ask that all patients contact the surgery as soon as possible to cancel an appointment. Please beware that failure to attend three or more appointments could result in you being removed from the practice list.
