The Thornton Practice

01/05/2026

📢 IMPORTANT INFORMATION 📢

From Thursday 14th May, we will be moving to a Total Triage Model.

👉 What does this mean?
All requests for appointments will be clinically triaged before an appointment is offered.

📝 How it works:

You will need to complete a triage questionnaire about your symptoms
This will be reviewed by a GP, who will then provide the most appropriate advice or appointment
The form can be submitted via the NHS App or through a link on our website
📞 No internet access?
If you’re unable to use online services, please call the surgery and a call handler will complete the form on your behalf.

📄 Administrative requests
You can also submit admin requests online, including sick notes, and a member of our admin team will get back to you.

Thank you for your cooperation as we introduce this new system to help ensure you receive the right care, at the right time.
