Appointments

Routine appointments

To request a routine appointment, you can:

• use an online form to request a consultation
• use the NHS App
• phone us on 0151 608 8889 from Monday to Friday, 8am to 6:30pm
• visit the surgery during opening hours and speak to a receptionist

You can now get treatment for seven common conditions at your local pharmacy. You don’t need a GP appointment or prescription. Please click here for more information about Pharmacy First.

When you get in touch, we’ll ask what you need help with. This allows us to understand how urgent your problem is so we can find the most suitable person to help you. We have trained our reception team to direct you to the most appropriate service.

If you contact us online, we’ll respond within two working days. Patients can book appointments with practice nurses by phone or in person. Online booking for nurses isn’t available at present.

Doctors are available for appointments every weekday evening through the Extended Access scheme. Weekend appointments also available. These appointments will be at Miriam Medical Centre (Laird Street, Birkenhead). Please call our reception team to book these.

Types of appointment offered

We may offer you:

• a face-to-face appointment
• a phone call or video consultation
• a text message or email, for example inviting you to visit the surgery for a blood test

Appointments by phone, video, or text/email offer greater flexibility. This often means quicker consultations.
