Using Accurx Online Requests Correctly

At our practice, we want to make sure your request is dealt with safely and by the right team. To help us do this, please make sure you’re using the correct type of request when contacting us through Accurx.

Admin Request – for Non-Medical Issues

Use the Admin Request option if you are requesting:

A sick note (fit note)

Test results

A repeat prescription

Available Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 6:30 PM

Medical Request – for Health Concerns

Use the Medical Request option if you:

Have a new or ongoing medical problem

Need advice or treatment from a doctor or clinician

Available from 8:00 AM until we reach capacity for the day

Important – Don’t Use Admin Request for Medical Problems

We’ve noticed some patients are using the Admin Request option to send in medical concerns when the Medical Request form is closed.

If Medical Requests are still open:

You’ll receive a message asking you to resubmit your concern using the correct Medical Request form.

If Medical Requests are closed (capacity reached):

You’ll receive a message explaining that we’re at capacity.

Please:

o Resubmit your request the next day at 8:00 AM

o Or contact NHS 111 or attend A&E if it’s urgent
