About PATCHS

PATCHS is an online service that allows you to quickly and easily access GP services.
Answer a few simple questions and PATCHS will get you the help you need.
PATCHS is only available during surgery hours.

 To book an appointment:

When you get in touch, our reception team will ask what you need help with.

This will help us assess your needs and identify the most suitable doctor, nurse or health professional to help you.

Extended hours appointments

We offer extended access appointments on Monday evenings from 6.30pm to 8pm.

We have availability for weekend appointments on Saturdays, contact the GP reception to find out when the next available clinic date will be.

About your appointment

When you contact us, we may offer you a consultation:

  • By phone
  • Face to face at the surgery
  • On a video call
  • By text or email
Appointments by phone, video call or online consultation can be more flexible. This means the doctor or nurse can help you sooner. Read more about our appointment triage system.

Important: If you have to cancel your appointment

Please tell us if you need to cancel your appointment and give us as much notice as possible. This means we can offer your appointment to another patient

How to cancel your appointment

To cancel your appointment, use your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App) or phone us on 0151 295 9213

  • If you would prefer to consult with the doctor or nurse by phone, face-to-face or video call.
  • If you need an interpreter
  • If you have any other access or communication needs
