Changes to Urgent Appointments from 1st April

From 1st April 2025, we will no longer offer same-day urgent appointments at New Mill Street Surgery without clinical triage, due to service demand. We are introducing an urgent total triage system. Patients requesting an urgent appointment must provide information relating to their urgent health concern using our online form.

Electronic Prescriptions

If you get regular prescriptions, the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) may be able to save you time by avoiding unnecessary trips to your GP.

EPS makes it possible for your prescriptions to be sent electronically to the Pharmacy or Dispenser of your choice.

Choosing a Pharmacy or Dispensing Appliance Contractor to process your EPS prescription is called nomination.

This means you’ll no longer have to collect a paper repeat prescription from your GP Practice – instead, you can go straight to the nominated Pharmacy or Dispensing Appliance Contractor to pick up your medicines or medical appliances.
