Routine appointments

The practice offers about 1700 appointments every week. We share these between GPs, Physiotherapists, Paramedics, Physicians Assistants, Clinical Pharmacists, Nurses and HCA’s. We also have appointments we are able to book at ‘out of hours’ centres.

Selsey Medical Practice operates a system of online total triage. Once you have completed an online triage request you will be contacted with an outcome which may include an appointment.

If you are offered an appointment, you may be contacted with a link to book this appointment online.

How you can help

As with a lot of surgeries, the demand for appointments at Selsey Medical Practice is high. We try our best to maximise the capacity of our appointment system. We also provide a wide variety of clinics to meet the needs of our patients.

What can you do:-

Can you solve your problem in another way e.g. seeing a pharmacist?
Do not call in the morning with medication queries or asking for test results. This is because it is the surgery’s busiest time
If you cannot keep your appointment, please cancel it so someone else can take your place

Cancelling your appointment

It is important that you inform the reception staff if you are unable to attend your appointment. This will allow that appointment to go to another patient. If you miss an appointment without telling us, we will send you a letter. The letter will inform you that you have defaulted from your appointment. We do remove Persistent defaulters from the list.

Please use the online service or telephone 01243 608201 option 4 to cancel.

If you are late

Please attend your appointment on time. If you come late the clinician may not see you.

If you are not seen you will try to rearrange your appointment depending on availability (except in the event of a medical emergency that requires immediate attention).

Extended Access

Extended Access appointments are run in conjunction with other local surgeries. It is for GP and nurse appointments for Selsey patients. Appointments are now available during the evening and at weekends . The clinics and face to face at various locations in our area.

GP and nurse appointments are available before 8am and up until 8pm on some weekdays and also during the day on a Saturday.

Extended Access aims to improve access to GP appointments.

Home Visits

Home visits are ONLY made to patients who are housebound. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it. They will also decide how urgent the visit is.

Please make requests for home visits before 10:00am.
