GP appointments

Patients are not able to book directly into GP appointments at Minet Green Health Practice. All GP appointment requests are reviewed by a clinician before being booked as part of our Total Triage appointment system.

You can submit an appointment request in several different ways:

If you call, our team will ask you a few questions about what you need help with, and they may ask you to complete the online form in order to request an appointment.

We will use your answers to choose the most suitable healthcare professional to help you. This may be a GP, pharmacist, nurse, physiotherapist, or another member of our multi-disciplinary team.

How does total triage work?

  1. You submit an appointment request, either over the phone or online
  2. All requests are added to the daily triage list
  3. All requests are reviewed by a triaging clinician
  4. You will then be contacted by phone call or text message to either:
  • arrange an appointment at Minet Green
  • refer or signpost you to a more appropriate service
  • ask for more information

There is lots more information about our Total Triage system on our contact us online page

Please tell us:

  • if there’s a specific GP or other health professional you would prefer to see or speak to
