Appointments at Park Surgery

Urgent appointments

To make an appointment please contact our care navigators on 01403 330 266. 

We hold the majority of appointments for those requiring more urgent assistance, called 'on the day' appointments and these are released at 8am each morning. 

Our care navigators will help you arrange a consultation with the relevant clinician. 

Call 999 for life-threatening or very serious situations. 

If you're unsure what service to use, you click here for more information on NHS emergency services. 

Out of Hours

Call 111 if you think you need medical assistance now and the surgery is closed. They can give advice, book appointments or arrange an ambulance depending on your concerns.

Routine appointments

To make an appointment please contact our care navigators on 01403 330 266. 

We have pre-bookable appointments that are suitable for those that do not require an appointment on the same day. We will aim to book you with your registered GP unless they are unavailable, unsuitable or you prefer another clinician. 

If you'd like an appointment in a few weeks' time, try and call us later on in the day for a routine appointment. This will reduce the competition on the phone system. 

You can use our eConsult service to submit an online request. See below for more information.

Home Visits

Where appropriate our clinicians will visit you in your home to perform a consultation or assessment.

This may be because you are registered housebound or are unable to attend the surgery for another reason. Please discuss with the clinician who triages you. 

Paramedics

Park Surgery benefit from a team of Paramedic Practitioners who increase our capacity, allowing us to perform more home visits for those in need. 

The GP may ask a paramedic to attend instead when more appropriate.

Extended Access Hubs

Evening and weekend access to GP appointments

GP appointments are now available during the evening and at the weekend for people registered with a GP in Horsham and Mid Sussex.

This means that both routine and urgent appointments are available at a local hub during weekday evenings and on a Saturday and Sunday, to make sure local people get the health help and support they need.

NHS Horsham and Mid Sussex CCG, working in partnership with local patients and clinicians, designed the service. The appointment hubs are run by Alliance for Better Care Ltd, the local GP Federation.

How to book an evening or weekend appointment at a hub

Appointments can be booked through your own GP practice in the normal way, during normal opening hours. Clinicians working at the hubs will be able to access your medical records with your agreement. You will be asked before any information is shared and can decline if you wish.

Cancelling appointments

It is extremely important that you inform the practice if you are unable to attend your appointment as early as you can, this will allow that appointment to be offered to another patient. In extreme cases, you may be removed from the list if you repeatedly fail to attend appointments without cancelling.

You can cancel your appointments using SystmOnline and the NHS App, and this would be our preference - just click on the links above.

Otherwise, please call the surgery on 01403214 604 - please leave a detailed message.

DNA appointments

If you do not attend your appointment it has a big impact on our services and our patients. 

Each week we might see 40-50 appointments unused due to DNA's. 

It's vital you inform us as early as you can so the appointment can be used for another in need.

In extreme cases you may be removed from our patient list if you repeatedly DNA without cancelling your appointment.
