Practice News

Welcome to Oakley Medical Practice

With patient’s needs at the heart of everything we do, our website has been designed to make it easy for you to gain instant access to the information you need. As well as specific practice details such as our Opening Hours and how to register, you’ll find a wealth of useful pages covering a wide range of health issues along with links to other relevant medical organisations. 

We are currently offering telephone, on-line and face-to-face appointments.  All same day actute issue Doctor appointments are released at 8am on the day.  Our Reception Team will ask for brief details of your call so your problems can be signposted to the most appropriate service. 

Please use our 'NHS Contact Us Online' service.  This service allows you to describe your medical problems to the Doctor including sending photographs of the problem.  The Doctor will then deal with your complaint in a timely manner.  'NHS Contact Us Online' may also be used to request repeat medication, sick note requests, and for any general enquiries.

Please remember to use your local pharmacy for minor ailments.

If you wish to register with the Practice, please register through our online services New Patient Registration Form, or telephone the surgery on 0113 2720900 if you have further questions.

Important: Changes to Online Appointment Booking

We are changing how online appointments are requested. SystmOnline will no longer be available for patients to book appointments directly.

Instead, please submit your appointment request or query through the NHS App. Our Care Navigation, Reception and Admin teams will review your request and, where appropriate, offer you a pre-bookable appointment that best meets your needs.

Please continue to use the NHS App as your first point of contact for appointment requests.

Thank you for your understanding while we introduce this new process.

Private Fees & Target Training Dates

Private Medical Reports and Non-NHS Services

The Practice offers a range of private medical reports and non-NHS services; however, all requests are considered on an individual basis and acceptance is at the discretion of the Practice and the clinician involved.

Services We Do Not Provide

We do not provide:

• Fitness to participate or medical clearance certificates for sporting or recreational activities.
• Capacity assessments for legal or financial matters.
• Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) assessments or certification.
• Passport application countersignatures.
• Reports or certificates requiring opinions beyond the information held within a patient's medical records.

Where appropriate, we may be able to provide a factual summary or confirmation of information contained within a patient's medical record.

Important Information

The Practice reserves the right to decline any private work request where:

• We do not have sufficient knowledge of the patient.
• The request falls outside the clinician's expertise.
• There are medico-legal concerns.
• The Practice does not have sufficient capacity to undertake the work safely.
• The request is outside the scope of services offered.

Private reports and non-NHS work are completed in addition to NHS responsibilities and are therefore undertaken on a non-urgent basis. Whilst we will endeavour to meet requested deadlines, this cannot be guaranteed.

Turnaround times vary depending on the complexity of the request and current workload. In some circumstances, completion may take up to 6 weeks from receipt of payment and all required information.

Fees

Private work is not funded by the NHS and charges apply. Please contact us to discuss your requirements and we can provide you with our fee scale.
