Total Triage
Please note that this is from 29th Sept 2025
On Monday 29th September 2025 our appointment system will change to a Total Triage system. All medical and administrative queries can be sent to the Practice by completing an online form https://florey.accurx.com/p/F86004 available on our Practice Website handsworthmedicalpractice.com.
Don’t worry if you are not able to complete the form online, our reception team can help you to complete the form either on the phone or in person. Total Triage means that a GP reviews every request for an appointment or advice before any appointment is booked. This helps to ensure patients are seen by the right person at the right time.
Your request will be reviewed by a GP and the GP will decide the most appropriate next step for you, which may include:
- A phone or face to face appointment
- A message with advice
- Signposting to another service
Our Administration Team will contact you with the outcome. Please note, some patients may be asked to attend a face-to-face appointment on the day they submit a request.
