Extended Access & Out of Hours
Non-urgent advice: Extended Hours
We have a limited number of
appointments, both face to face and telephone, outside of normal hours for patients whose circumstances make it difficult to attend during normal working hours.
These are on:
– Tuesday mornings: 07:30 – 08:00
– Tuesday evenings: 18:30 – 20:00
– Thursday mornings: 07:30 – 08:00
– Thursday evenings: 18:30 – 19:15
Phone lines and other services will only be available during normal hours 08:00 – 18:30, not during extended hours.
Non-urgent advice: Extended Access
Practices are now providing more patient appointments in the evenings and at weekends under the new enhanced access service from 1st October 2022.
Enhanced access is available, Monday to Friday from 6:30pm to 8pm and on Saturdays from 9am to 5pm.
Your practice will be able to book you an appointment in any of the network practices or in a hub (you will still be registered with your practice).
Appointment sessions are available for pre-booked appointments only.
