  • request a GP record from the old GP system

  • send a GP record to the new GP system

  • acknowledge receipt of the GP record

NHS services are very busy at the moment. It's important to come forward with any health concerns but you can help ease the pressure by choosing the right service. 

Accident and emergency (A&E) departments are currently extremely busy treating high numbers of patients.                                                                            This service is for those who need it most – like people with severe chest pains, serious head injuries, loss of consciousness or breathing difficulties.         

Please help us to protect emergency departments by using an alternative service if you have a less serious condition.

More than 41,000 people did not attend their appointments in June 2023. We would urge anyone who can no longer attend any appointment to cancel them. This allows the practice to use the time to see other patients in need.

We are reminding patients to cancel their appointment if they can no longer attend to allow the practice to use the time to see others in need.     If you need to cancel your appointment please call us on 01227 208556 and select option 2.

Northgate Medical Practice has a significant number of military veterans registered with us.  We are conscious that some military veterans might be affected by the 20th anniversary of the Iraq conflict. If you have been affected by this, help is available as the surgery is proud to be accredited as a veteran friendly practice by the Royal College of GPs. Help is also available via Op Courage, the veterans’ mental health and wellbeing service http://bit.ly/3n9u3td”
