It's Cervical Cancer Prevention Week 🩵

Cervical screening is a free health test that checks for HPV. If you have HPV, it checks for abnormal cell changes that might lead to cervical cancer.

Book your appointment when you're invited for screening ➡️ https://orlo.uk/Cpd6a

📢 Important Notice to Patients 📢

Submitting an online consultation ACCURX form, does NOT guarantee a same-day GP appointment. Due to very high demand, we are unable to offer same-day appointments for all requests.

All online forms are triaged and appointments are offered based on medical priority and availability, not on urgency stated by the patient alone.

❗ Please do not misuse or abuse the system by submitting multiple forms, exaggerating symptoms, or demanding same-day appointments. This delays care for patients who genuinely need urgent medical attention.

🚨 We are NOT an emergency service.
For medical emergencies, please contact 999 or attend A&E.

We ask all patients to be respectful and patient with our staff, who are working under significant pressure to provide safe and fair care to everyone.

Thank you for your cooperation.

A Huge Thank You!!!

At our GP practice, our priority is making sure every patient gets the right care, at the right time, from the right professional.

Not every health issue needs a GP appointment. Some problems are better, quicker, and more appropriately managed by:

•Your local pharmacy
•Self-referral services
•Community or specialist services

When our team signposts you, it’s not to be awkward or unhelpful it’s because following these pathways helps:

•Get you help faster
•Keep GP appointments available for patients with complex or urgent medical needs
•Keep the service safe and sustainable for everyone

When patients refuse signposting and insist on a GP appointment that isn’t clinically appropriate, it unfortunately:

•Delays care for others
•Increases pressure on already limited appointments
•Makes it harder for us to meet the needs of the most unwell patients

Our reception and clinical teams work to national guidance and practice policy. They are doing their best to help all patients, every day.

Please be kind, patient, and trust the advice you are given. Signposting is part of good medical care, not a barrier to it.

Thank you for your understanding and support. 💙

As we approach the Christmas period, we’d like to remind patients that prescriptions should be ordered as normal.
Please note that being Christmas does not mean medications can be ordered early unless there is a clinical need.

Lockfield Surgery will be closed only on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
On all other days, our prescription service will run as usual.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep our services running smoothly.
