Please contact us via this link:

https://florey.accurx.com/p/D81017

• Select either admin or medical request

• Confirm this is a non urgent request

• Write the request to the practice, giving as much information as possible

• Tell the practice how you want to be contacted

• Enter your details

• Press submit!

All incoming requests are triaged, to ensure you receive the best solution to your request.  A member of our team will respond within 1 -2 working days - the majority of appointments are VIRTUAL the GP will contact you around the time of your appointment and conduct an assessment of your problem - if you require a face to face appointment the GP will arrange this with you at the end of the call.  Please make sure you look out for our call but If you miss our call we will try again, please do not call us.  If we miss you more than once we will probably send a text message asking you to make another appointment.

 We ask you to be polite and patient with our reception team who will need to ask you some questions when they speak to you.  Due to the volume of calls coming in and out of the practice you may find the lines are busier than normal so we ask you leave the early morning and afternoon periods free to allow for patients calling for urgent help to get through. Nursing appointments are available to book through the reception team so please continue to call for your routine testing i.e. dressings, smears, injections blood tests etc. 

Away from Home? If you are away from home but still in the UK we are able to still offer you advice and treatment on a telephone appointment, if we feel we need to see you in person you will be asked to come back to Cambridge or to contact a GP local to your current area and ask to be seen as a temporary patient. It is important to be seen as a temporary patient as becoming registered with another practice in the UK will cancel your registration with us.  We are able to send prescriptions to any pharmacy in England and will ask you to provide a postcode of the pharmacy you wish to use.

Evening and Weekend Appointments

Extra appointments to see a GP or Nurse in the evening or at the weekend are now available to all patients provided on our behalf by Cambs GP Network (Extended Access) which will be at a different surgery.

You can book your appointment through our receptionist who will give you a time, date and venue for your appointment.  

Please see Cambs GP Network website for further information:

The Practice has access to a confidential telephone interpreter service, which does not need to be arranged in advance.  However to help us prepare for your visit if you are aware that you need this service telling us ahead would be helpful.  Alternatively we welcome a friend or family member to accompany you as interpreter provided you are happy to discuss things with them.

Home Visits

Home Visits    are provided by the GP for patients who are genuinely housebound due to an illness or disability.  Most patients including babies and small children with temperatures can usually be brought to the surgery, for a pre- arranged appointment.  We will use our clinical judgement in each case.

If possible try to telephone the surgery BEFORE 11.00am. 

When requesting a home visit the receptionist will ask for a few details.  One of our clinical team will then call you to discuss the problem first before visiting.

This is no longer booked through the GP Practice.  

Transport is provided by the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST).

Tel: 0345 603 8117    Lines open: Monday - Sunday 08:00-18:30  You will be asked some short questions to see if you are eligible to use the service.

Transport is for patients with an appointment at the hospital or at an NHS treatment centre (not the GP surgery) who are unable to travel by private or public transport for medical reasons.
