We are pleased to be able to offer our patients access to routine, pre-booked appointments at evenings and weekends from Saturday 01/10/2022
The new service is part of an extended access service which has been commissioned by the NHS to improve access to General Practice.
Extended hours run between 18:30 and 20:00 weekdays and 09:00 and 17:00 Saturdays
Appointments are for pre-bookable, non-urgent consultations with GPs and Nurses. Examples of these include chronic illness, asthma checks and routine GP appointments.
The service is being delivered at 3 sites across the Broughton Neighbourhood, on a rotational basis and include,
· Lower Broughton health Centre
· Newbury Green Medical Practice
· Blackfriars Medical Practice
This means that your appointment could be with a health professional from any of the federation practices
To arrange an appointment, please speak to your practice receptionist.
When booking an appointment, you will need to consent to a Consulting Clinician that may not be your own GP viewing and updating your health record.
Important things to remember:
· These are pre-bookable and not urgent, acute ‘on the day’ matters
· Booked in advance through your own GP reception
· May be with a health professional from any of the federation practices
· At Lower Broughton Health Centre, Newbury Green Medical Practice or Blackfriars Medical Practice
· Extended Access hours are between 18:30 and 20:00 weekdays and 09:00 and 17:00 Saturdays
· Unfortunately, telephone lines to the practice will not be accessible during Extended Access, however, should you need to cancel your appointment, you can do so on 07593 447783. (Please note this is not available to book) appointments)
· These appointments are additional capacity across the federation practices
