Enhanced Access

We provide On the Day appointments from Monday to Friday in our overflow clinics, which assist patients in securing appointments when their regular practice is fully booked. 

Our Enhanced Access allows us to offer additional healthcare appointments outside of the usual GP hours, ensuring that patients have more flexibility to book a consultation.

Key Features:

  • Appointments are available from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm on weekdays, and 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on Saturdays.
  • You can book appointments with a GP, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Practice Nurse, or Healthcare Assistant.
  • Services include routine check-ups, long-term condition management, health screenings, and minor ailment consultations.

How to Book: You can book an Enhanced Access appointment by contacting your GP practice in the usual way. Please mention that you would like an enhanced access appointment when booking.
