How to See a Doctor

MAKING AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE A GP IS CHANGING FROM THE 22nd JULY 2025

We are in the process of improving your access to General Practice services.  Our new triage appointment system will commence on Tuesday 22nd July 2025. This system will help us assess your requests quickly, allocate appointments based on clinical need, and improve continuity of care. 

Please send all medical queries and appointment requests via our website   You can access all online request forms either through the website or on your NHS App. We will respond the same day, allowing those with urgent needs to get prompt appointments.

If you do not have a smartphone, please call the practice. Our Reception Team will guide you through the simple questions and help you complete the online form.  All requests will be assessed as soon as possible and in the same way, regardless of how you contacted the surgery. https://accurx.nhs.uk/patient-initiated/h83018 

If an appointment is needed, you will be contacted by phone or sent an SMS text message with a self-book link.

General Practice is evolving. Besides GPs and Nurses, our Practice now has many skilled professionals. We might suggest you see another Healthcare Professional for your care. This could be a Pharmacist, Physiotherapist, Advanced Clinical Practitioner, Paramedic, or Social Prescriber. We may also guide you to external services like Pharmacy First.

The aim is to make access easier for everyone. We appreciate your patience during this transition.

A number of appointments are released on a daily basis for morning surgeries. For these ‘book on the day’ appointments, we cannot guarantee which healthcare professional patients will see.

 

GP Appointments after 6.30pm and Saturdays 

The surgery is able to offer patients appointments 

Our patients can have a telephone consultation with a clinician every Friday night from 18:30-19:30 if they need to seek urgent medical advice and the surgery is closed, please note this service is run by the GP Collaborative and not Selsdon Park Medical Practice.    Every third Saturday we have appointments bookable at Selsdon Park Medical Practice, on the other two Saturdays you can be seen at Woodcote Medical Centre -  Purley and Old Coulsdon Medical Practice, please ask our Reception Team.

There is a mixture of face to face, telephone and nursing appointments available for our patients.  These appointments start at 08:00 and end at various times throughout the day. Please call our Reception Team at Selsdon Park Medical Practice.
