Calling for Appointments

Patients calling to make an appointment can call between 8:30am and 18:00pm however, where possible we ask that patients ring between 8:30am to 1:00pm Monday to Friday.

Calling for Prescriptions

Repeat prescription requests can only be made over the phone between 11:00 to 1:00pm. Don’t forget that you can also order your prescription through the NHS App or by emailing somicb.mmcprescriptions@nhs.net. Written requests can still be made through using the post box in the waiting room.

Calling for Test Results

Test results received at the surgery are process in the morning and are available to patients after 2:00pm. Please note that test results can also be accessed via the NHS App.

Translation service

If English is not your first language, or you have any other requirements, please ask at Reception to see if our translation service can help you. Please note that this is not always available straight away and may require an additional wait whilst a translator is sourced. This service is usually provided digitally rather than a translator attending in person.

Chaperones

Should you wish, patients are able to take someone into their appointment with them. However, should you wish someone to accompany you but do not have anyone with you, please ask at Reception if one of our team can act as a chaperone. Please note that we may also ask that a chaperone accompanies you in your meeting.

Policies

Please ask at Reception if you would like to see a copy of one of our policies.

Practice Boundary

An NHS practice boundary refers to the geographic area that a particular NHS (National Health Service) practice, such as a Health Centre, is responsible for serving. Each surgery typically has a defined boundary, and people who live within this area are eligible to register with that practice for primary care services. Please see the St Neots boundary below:
