When you are booking an appointment please be prepared for our Patient Care Co-ordinator to ask you the nature of your problem including questions from our eConsult template this will enable them to book your appointment appropriately and provide you with the best possible care.

Please note, that if you are late for your appointment and the doctor or practitioner's clinic is full, you will be asked to book another appointment; you will only be seen at the end of the surgery in exceptional circumstances.

 

Oxford Brookes University Medical Centre - During Semester time

There is at least one doctor available in rotation for booked appointments in the Oxford Brookes Medical Centre every morning and afternoon during semester time.

 

Emergency Appointments

If you feel you need an emergency, same day appointment, please use eConsult

The patient care co-ordinator will put your name on the duty doctor’s list and the duty doctor will contact you to determine the best course of action with you – please ensure that your phone is to hand.

 

Triage

So that we can make the best use of doctor time you may be booked in to see one of our highly trained practitioners. If your appointment is for Family Planning, Cytology, coughs and colds and other minor illnesses, please ask for a nurse appointment.

 

Telephone Appointments

We also offer shorter telephone consultations at the end of each surgery - please ask reception if you would prefer this. We will give you an approximate time when the doctor will phone you back.

 

Extended Access Appointments

The Practice is working with our PCN practices to offer a range of appointments from your usual GP pre bookable Saturday morning appointments at Manzil Way to pharmacist’s and other health care professionals working remotely and on site throughout the week. Please ask reception for further details - if you cannot get to the surgery - in the usual opening hours.
