Appointments

Not registered?

If you're not a registered patient at Hollies Medical Centre, it only takes a few minutes to register with our practice online.

Please note, if you are registered elsewhere, it can take up to 14 days for your medical records to be transferred to us.

During this time, you should contact your current practice to make an appointment

Appointments

Book an appointment online

To book an appointment, submit an online request here. If you cannot access online services please call the practice on 0114 255 0094.

Please do not use the form on the link above for any medical emergency. In an emergency, call 999.

Changing and cancelling appointments

If you can't change or cancel your appointment online - or if you need to make a change with less than 12 hours until your appointment - then please call the practice on 0114 255 0094.

Home visits

Requests for emergency visits take priority at all times. For a home visit please call the practice on 0114 255 0094 before 10.30am so that the doctors have enough time to arrange their visits in order of priority and avoid unnecessary delays.

Home visits are for people whose illness renders them truly housebound.

Typical examples of home visits are for people who are:

  • Terminally ill
  • Elderly and infirm
  • Where the journey to the surgery would exacerbate their condition, for example a severe disc prolapse

Out of hours

If you need medical attention or advice outside our operating hours please ring 111.

111 is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. Calls from mobiles and landlines are free and the service is intended to respond to people’s health and social care needs when:

  • it is not a life-threatening situation, and therefore is less urgent than a 999 call
  • the patient does not have a GP to call or a GP is not available
  • the caller feels they cannot wait and is simply unsure of which service they require
  • the caller requires health information or reassurance about what to do next.

In the event of a life threatening situation dial 999

General information on health service can also be obtained by accessing the NHS CHOICES website www.nhs.uk

A&E or 999

Emergency services are very busy. They should only be used in very serious or life threatening situations.

When is it an emergency?

When it comes to your health or the health of someone in your family, it is often very obvious if the person is seriously ill and needs urgent care. You should seek medical attention by either taking the casualty to A&E or by phoning 999 for an emergency ambulance.

If the emergency is a critical or life-threatening situation like the following examples and in any of these instances, you should seek urgent medical attention by dialling 999:

  • Suspected heart attack
  • Chest pain
  • Unconsciousness
  • Severe breathing difficulties
  • Head injury
  • Stroke symptoms (slurring of speech, unstable on feet)

Remember to remain calm, do everything you can to help the person, but don't put yourself in danger and don't give the person anything to eat, drink or smoke.

People with signs of a heart attack, which might include crushing central chest pain often accompanied by shortness of breath, sweating and vomiting, need urgent medical help and an ambulance should be called immediately by dialling 999.

For conditions like heavy blood loss, suspected broken bones, deep wounds such (as stab wounds) and foreign bodies in eyes or ears which are not life-threatening (and where the patient can travel), they should be taken to the nearest A & E Department.

Interpreter

If you require an interpreter to attend with you when you see your Doctor please notify the receptionist at the time of booking and they will arrange this for you.

Training Practice

The Hollies is a ‘training practice’. This means hospital doctors wanting to enter general practice spend four months with us in order to gain the experience they need to become family doctors. We also have two GP Registrars who are approaching qualification as a GP.

As a training practice your medical records may be used for educational purposes. Because of this we ask patients registering with us to sign a consent form giving permission for their records to be used in this way.

On occasion, video recording will be made of consultations. Video recording will not take place without the patient’s consent and any physical examination will not be recorded. The camera will be switched off on request at any time during the consultation. Further details of the procedure are included in the consent form. Patients will be advised if a surgery is being recorded as they book in and before they see the doctor.

There is no obligation to have your consultation recorded and refusal will not compromise your health care. Patients should however see video recording as an invitation to them to participate in and contribute to teaching, learning and assessment in medical education.
