Appointments

Please be aware that all online appointments are face to face

Make an appointment by visiting our Consulting Room.

All nurse appointments are face to face and that a majority of nurse practitioner and GP appointments are face to face.

On the day appointments

As of the 31st July 2023 the GP appointment system will be changing.

There will no longer be any appointments released online at 7pm the night before and they will be replaced by a larger number of appointments that will be released online at 8am for that same afternoon, as well as appointments bookable up to 5 days in advance.

We will also have an increased number of on the day bookable appointments that can be booked at main reception or on the phone as well as appointments that can be booked by reception up to 8 days in advance. Pre-bookable appointments will also be available with our Paramedic and Advanced Nurse Practitioners.

We are working closely with nearby services and we may offer you an appointment at Urgent Care or at Willen Surgery to see one of their GPs. All consultations made within these services will be available for staff at Oakridge Park to view.

Hub practice appointments

To complement the services we provide, we are also able to book our patients at the hub practices below, who are all able to view and use our clinical system to see our Patients for routine matters and screening purposes. The sessions are for both GPs and practice nurse appointments. These give patients more access throughout the week.

The hub practices are:

  • Central Milton Keynes Medical Centre
  • Broughton Gate Practice
  • Wolverton Health Centre
  • Parkside Medical Centre
  • The Grove Surgery

Appointments will be available at the following times:

  • Monday to Friday 07:00 to 08:00
  • Monday to Friday 18:30 to 20:00
  • Saturday and Sunday 08:00 to 14:00

Patients failing to attend appointments

Patients who fail to attend appointments are depriving others who could have used this appointment. We receive many complaints from patients who can’t get a regular appointment for some time due to the shortage of appointments, and this is a contributing factor.

The practice will now review all patients who fail to attend any appointments, and will place them into monitored groups as a result.

Anyone who fails to attend on more than three occasions will be reviewed, and likely removed from the practice list.

We began a campaign a few months ago aiming to educate patients to cancel their appointments in good time if they are unable to attend. You will be pleased to know that these figures are improving!

However, there is still some way to go and we ask that if you are unable to attend your appointment that you contact the surgery as soon as possible (ideally giving 24 hours notice). If you wish to cancel an appointment, please let us know. 

We are keen to make our surgery one of the most efficient in Milton Keynes and you can help us do this!
