Book an appointment online

How to book an appointment

Lawn Medical Centre does not currently offer online booking of appointments.

To request a routine appointment, please call the surgery at any time between the hours of 9:00am and 6:00pm to make an appointment up to two weeks in advance. If your appointment is urgent, please call at 8:30am to arrange for a GP to see you on the same day.

Please use Pharmacy First for the seven conditions they are able to help with, without you needing to see a GP.

Triage System

Each morning one of our doctors will offer return triage calls to patients in order to ascertain whether their problem can be dealt with quickly over the telephone or whether they need to make an appointment to come in and see the GP or nurse. In some instances we may refer you to a community pharmacist who will call you back within 24 hours of the referral.

Our aim is to provide:

• Faster access to a GP for patients
• More convenient access
• Better use of time for our GPs and patients
• Ensure some appointments are available for patients with chronic complex illnesses

Please note that we will still be operating the same system for pre-bookable appointments and these can be available up to 2 weeks in advance for doctors and 4 weeks for nurses.

Types of appointments

At Lawn Medical Centre, we offer different appointments to help you get the care you need as soon as possible.

Routine appointments

We aim to give you a routine appointment to see a GP within 2 weeks of receiving your request.

Urgent appointments

If your appointment is urgent, we’ll try to arrange for a GP to see you on the same day or refer you to another appropriate service.

You can also call NHS 111 for general medical advice.
