Dr Markus Schichtel GP Peterborough: Making and Managing Appointments

To see Dr Markus Schichtel GP Peterborough, you must first register with the practice. Once registered, contact the surgery directly to book appointments. If you arrive without one, you may not be seen and might be asked to return later.

If you can’t attend a scheduled appointment, cancel it early. This allows another patient the opportunity to be seen.

Test Results, Referrals, and Prescriptions

If your GP recommends tests, they will explain everything and tell you how to receive your results. Tests may be done in the practice or at another facility.

Additionally, your GP will refer you to a specialist if needed. You cannot arrange a specialist appointment without a GP referral.

Medication is necessary, your GP will issue a prescription. You can take this to a pharmacy to collect your medicine.

Interpreter Services and Gender Preferences

If you have a gender preference for your GP, confirm availability before registration. Some practices may have only male or only female doctors.

Furthermore, interpreting services are available for patients needing language support. These must be booked in advance and are offered in person or by phone. If someone calls on your behalf, remind them to request the service.

Respect, Courtesy, and Communication

Our staff will always treat you with respect. In return, we ask for polite and considerate behaviour from all patients.

Please inform the practice promptly if your phone number or address changes. This helps ensure smooth communication.

Similarly, if multiple family members need to be seen, book separate appointments. If your issue is complex, ask the receptionist for a longer appointment slot.

When the Surgery Is Closed and Other Help Available

When the surgery is closed, dial the same number. You will be redirected to the Out of Hours service or NHS 111.

For minor health concerns, your pharmacist may help. For eye problems, visit an optometrist.
