Important: Important notice for our patient
Abbey Road Surgery have moved to Total Triage from Tuesday 1st July 2025.
Helping you get the right treatment, by the right clinician, at the right time.
We will be asking all patients to complete an online Patient Triage form
This will be reviewed by one of our team and we will then contact you with either advice or a link to book an appointment where appropriate.
If you are unable to do this, a family member, friend or carer can complete the form on your behalf. Of course if you are unable to complete the online form, you can still contact us by phone and one of our dedicated team members will talk you through the Online Triage pathway and support you using this new process.

Home visits
If you are housebound and need an appointment, we will do a home visit. We will phone you first to understand what you need. To request a home visit, it’s helpful if you phone the surgery between 8:30am and 10am. Home visits – Abbey Road Surgery
We cannot guarantee that one of our practice GP’s will attend as we use the Acute In-hours Visiting Service (AIVS) to support the GP’s when demand is high. AIVS will visit with 6 hours of the visit being passed to them.
