Extended Hours

Weekend appointments are also available for Trafford patients to book to see a GP, Nurse (Smears only) or Phlebotomist between 09:00 and 13.00 on Saturday and Sunday mornings at North Trafford Group Practice as part of Trafford Primary Health’s commitment to seven day GP access for Trafford patients.

Home Visits

Patients are requested, where possible, to telephone before 11am if a home visit is required that day.

We would request that, apart from the genuinely housebound, all other patients attend the surgery rather than request a home visit because of the extra time home visiting takes. On average four to five patients can be seen in surgery in the time it takes to do a single house call. In addition, the care that can be offered due to the lack of adequate lighting, examination facilities and equipment means that you may not receive as good a service as the doctor may be able to offer if you came to the surgery.

Please note that the doctor may telephone you rather than visit you if this is medically appropriate. Ultimately it is the doctors right to decide whether or not a visit is appropriate for a particular set of circumstances.

Cancel an Appointment

It is important that you inform the reception staff if you are unable to attend your appointment, this will allow that appointment to be offered to another patient. If you fail to notify the Practice that you are unable to attend, you will be sent a letter informing you that you have defaulted from your appointment. Persistent defaulters may be removed from the list.

You can ring the practice if you wish to cancel the appointment. Please inform us a day before so we can make it available for other patients. 

Text Reminder Service

We have a texting service which allows you to receive confirmation and reminders about your appointments. A cancellation link is also sent in reminder if you can not keep your appointment. 

Once you register at the practice, you are automatically opted to this services, however you can request to opt out from this service by informing the practice. 

It is your responsibility to update your contact details with us when you change address, telephone numbers and email address.
