Sickness certificates (fit notes)

You must give your employer a doctor's 'fit note' (sometimes called a 'sick note') if you've been ill for more than 7 days in a row and have taken sick leave. This includes non-working days, such as weekends and bank holidays.

Home visits

Please be aware that our GPs will always call to assess the home visit request first.

If you need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 11am.

Telephone: 01684 217333.

Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible.

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls.

You can also be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby.

Change or cancel an appointment

Please give us as much notice as possible so we can offer your appointment to someone else.

To cancel your appointment:

  1. Cancel using the GP online system
  2. Phone us on 01684 217333
  3. Reply CANCEL to your appointment reminder text message

Out of hours

Enhanced access

Across our Primary Care Network (PCN), we are able to offer our patients access to routine GP and practice nurse appointments during the evenings and on Saturdays. Our Primary Care Network is made up of the following surgeries:

  • Church Street Medical, Tewkesbury
  • West Cheltenham Medical, Cheltenham
  • Mythe Medical Practice, Tewkesbury
  • Staunton and Corse Surgery
  • Newent Doctors Practice

Enhanced access appointments will take place Monday to Friday 6:30pm to 8pm and Saturday 9am to 1pm at one of the practices above. Saturday afternoon appointments are also available in Gloucester.

Church Street Medical are offering appointments every Tuesday, plus some Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. Appointments can be booked in advance during our usual opening hours.

To provide the highest quality of care under this enhanced access offer, our five PCN practices have entered into a Data Sharing Agreement which ensures confidentiality and information governance. This means that your personal medical information will only be available to the consulting clinician and will automatically be recorded in your own medical records if you are registered at another practice in the PCN.

To find out more about PCNs, please watch this video from NHS England or visit the TWNS PCN Facebook page.
