Extended access

Evening and weekend access to GP appointments

As part of the government drive to enable patients to access GP appointments from 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week, we offer an Enhanced Access service through our Primary Care Network (PCN) for our patients. The service offers remote telephone appointments with a GP and is available on some weekday evenings and Saturdays.

The appointments are pre-bookable only and appointments can be made via the surgery.

To access these appointments you must be willing to consent to the sharing of your medical record.

Home visits

  • Home visits – In cases of severe illness, infirmity, or emergencies, the GP may be able to visit the patient at home.  If you are too ill to attend please call the surgery on 01903 742942 before 10.30 am if possible.  You will be asked for a reason for the Home Visit so we can judge the urgency of the call. The doctor may phone before visiting to assess the urgency of the visit.
