Today the 5th July we have audited the amount of appointments not attended in June 2023. This added up to 48.5hours of NHS time. The appointments that were not attended were with a variety of healthcare professionals such as physiotherapists, nurses, healthcare assistants, phlebotomists, mental health workers and doctors appointments.
Demand for appointments with all healthcare professionals is at an all time high. If you are unable to keep your appointment, please give us as much notice as possible so your appointment can be offered to another patient in need.
Please ring, text back to your appointment reminder or use the NHS app to cancel your appointment if it is no longer needed.
We aim to provide a good service to our patients and to do this we need your cooperation.
Our opening hours from 20th March 2023: Monday to Friday 8am - 6pm
Message to all patients
It is fact that NHS staff at GP surgeries are facing increasing levels of abuse from patients. A recent poll by the body that represents GP surgery staff across the UK, found that 75% of staff face some sort of abuse every day.
This increase in abuse comes alongside a huge increase in demand for GP services for their patients.
Our staff provide a professional and friendly service to all patients. The increasing levels of challenge and abuse mentioned above will inevitably have a knock-on effect to all patients as we may find that the team are not as kind and forgiving as once they were. We know most of our patients are kind and courteous but every day our staff receive inappropriate behaviour from some patients (including sarcasm, emotional blackmail, swearing, shouting etc).
Our staff are doing their best under the circumstances, please be kind to our staff, they are only doing their job.

The Armley Hub
From 1st October 2022 if you need to see a GP but can’t attend the surgery through the week you can book an appointment at the Armley Hub on Saturdays 08.00 – 14.00 and it runs from Priory View Medical Centre. For urgent appointments, the service does also offer same day appointments. To access these appointments please ring the practice as normal. If the surgery is closed a divert is in place to direct patients to the Hub directly during its operational hours.
The Hub was designed to provide better access for patients who struggle to attend the practice through the working week, and involves a group of practices from the local area. All patients from this group of practices can book appointments at the Hub, and you will be seen by a GP who works on behalf of the local practices. This may mean that you have an appointment with a GP who does not usually work for your local practice, but who will be able to give you the same level of care. All of the GPs working in the Hub will be able to access all the necessary information about you to give you the highest level of care and the process will be exactly the same as you would receive from a GP Monday to Friday. Please remember: The Hub is an extension of General Practice as a way to provide more GP appointments to the local population. For more information about the Armley Hub click here

- if you need information in braille, large print or easy read
- if you need a British Sign Language interpreter or advocate

Please tell the receptionist when you arrive for your next appointment, or call on the main surgery number
Named Accountable GP
From the 1st of April 2015, the practice is required under the terms of the latest GP contract to allocate all patients a “named accountable GP”. This GP has responsibility for the co-ordination of all appropriate services required under the contract and ensure they are delivered to each of their patients where required, based on the GP’s clinical judgement.
If you wish to be told the name of your accountable GP, please ask the receptionists when you are next in the surgery. Having a named GP does not prevent you seeing any other doctor in the practice. Your named GP will not be available at all times and if your needs are urgent, you may need to discuss them with an alternative doctor.
Please inform us if you wish to change your “named accountable GP”.
Friends and Family Test
From 1 December 2014, if you visit our GP surgery you will be asked about whether or not you would recommend our surgery to your family and friends, if they need similar treatment or care. For more info Click here.
