Westcroft Health Centre are starting up Stop Smoking clinics by our newly trained Practitioners. If you are interested in attending a clinic, please contact reception.

NHS App

The NHS app can be used for a number of things such as ordering repeat prescriptions, managing appointments, viewing your GP health record and using NHS 111 online to answer questions and get instant advice or medical help near you. Find out more about the NHS App

Protected Learning Time (PLT)

Please be advised the practice will be shut for PLT on 15th July 2025, from 2:30pm.

If you need medical help when we are closed, use NHS 111 online or call 111.

NHS 111 online is for people aged 5 and over. Call 111 if you need help for a child under 5.

Call 999 in a medical or mental health emergency. This is when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk.

Sick (fit) notes

If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days

To request a sick note:

If you’ve been off sick for 7 days or less

If you’re off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you’ve been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you’ve been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.

Find out more about sick notes on the NHS website.
