Extended Access Arrangements

Published 17/06/08

We will be starting our pilot extended access service from 1st July for 2 months. We will be offering at least one early morning, midday and later evening surgery each week. We are also re-starting a Saturday morning service on alternate Saturdays with one GP and practice nurse. This means that we will be able to offer better access to our range of chronic disease clinics, for those working away from home or who otherwise struggle to get to the surgery during the normal working week.

The extended access surgeries can be booked by ringing the surgery or online in advance. Appointments are only available on a pre-booked basis and the surgery will only be open to those with appointments during extended access times.

We will publish the dates and times of the extended access surgeries for July and August in the next week.

We will be evaluating the extended access surgeries over the summer months to see which times are most popular and we hope to publish a more permanent timetable when we've  had a chance to get patient comments and feedback.

The full range of services at your local surgery

The quality and continuity of your care

Being treated by GPs who put patients before shareholders

The very existence of some local NHS surgeries
