Appointments
At Goodmans Field Medical Practice, all requests for appointments are reviewed by our clinical team before appointment is booked. This helps us make sure every patient gets the right care, from the right person, at the right time.
We are trialing a new online form, this is the quickest and easiest way to request an appointment. There’s no sign up needed, you can use the form straightaway.
You’ll answer a series of simple questions about your health concern or request. The information you provide helps our team understand what you need, assess how urgent your request is, and make sure it reaches the right clinician or service.
This means you may be offered:
- A face-to-face appointment
- A telephone appointment
- A video consultation
- Advice by text message or telephone
- Signposting to another appropriate service, where suitable
If you cannot use our online service, our reception team will be happy to help you complete your request.
Evergreen App
The Evergreen app is still available to you as our digital front door. You can continue to use the app to order repeat prescriptions, monitor your health goals, and enjoy 24/7 access to your GP medical record.

Our appointments
We provide a wide range of services. There are a range of professionals who can look after you. You may be offered an appointment with an advanced nurse practitioner, physiotherapist, paramedic or clinical pharmacist rather than a GP.
This appointment may take place face-to-face at the practice, on the telephone or via video call.
Before you make an appointment to see your GP, think about what other services might be able to help.
- go to a pharmacy for advice and treatment for minor conditions.
- go to your local urgent care centre for treatment of strains, sprains and flesh wounds.
- call NHS 111 or visit 111.nhs.uk if you have an urgent medical problem, but you’re not sure what to do.
- visit a sexual health service for testing for sexually transmitted infections and contraception advice.
You do not have to make an appointment or register for these services.
Missed Appointments Policy
We understand that sometimes you may not be able to attend your booked appointment. If you cannot attend, help us by letting us know as far in advance that you cannot make your appointment. This means we can offer the appointment to another patient who needs it.
- If you do not attend an appointment, our team will be in touch with you to ask why.
- If you regularly miss your appointments, we may have to consider removing you from our practice.
Thank you for help in making sure we have enough appointments for all our patients.
