EXTENDED ACCESS

Extended Access via HASP PCN

Evening and weekend appointments are now available with GPs, for routine pre-booked services

if you:

• find it difficult to attend an appointment during the working day
• are a busy parent with small children; or
• rely on working carers to take you to appointments;

then this service is here to support you.

Booking an Appointment

To book an appointment you must contact your own GP practice. An appointment must have been booked in advance of visiting the extended hours service. You can contact your practice by telephone. Please note that when you book an appointment the practice will ask you for consent to share your detailed GP record with the clinician providing the care.

Should you need to cancel your appointment please contact your GP practice. Remember if you no longer need your appointment, please cancel it so someone else can have it.

Please be aware that this is not a walk-in service – you must have an appointment.

Where & When will you be seen?

Evening and weekend appointments are likely to be in one of the hubs and not necessarily at your usual GP practice. Your GP practice will be able to advise you where you need to be when you book your appointment.

Please be aware that appointments booked at the hubs providing evening and/or weekend appointments will be with a GP, practice nurse or other appropriate healthcare professional who works on behalf of all the local GP practices. This may mean that you have an appointment with a GP, practice nurse or other appropriate healthcare professional who does not usually work for your usual GP practice, but you will still receive the same level of care.

All the GPs and nurses working in the HUB will be able to access all the necessary information about you to give you the highest level of care and the process will be exactly the same as you would receive from a GP or nurse at your usual GP practice.

MINOR AILMENTS 

A minor ailments scheme operates at some local pharmacies. If you do not pay for your prescriptions you can still be seen by a participating pharmacy rather than having to attend the GP surgery. Please ask at reception or your local pharmacy for details of the ailments covered.

eConsult

Welcome to our online consulting tool.  You can contact us about a MEDICAL or ADMINISTRATIVE issue by accessing this service. Simply click the banner below.

Answer a few short questions and we will get back to you by the end of the next working day. Please do not use this form for urgent medical issues or for medical emergencies.  The form will only be read between the hours of 8am to 12 noon Monday to Friday - excluding public holidays.

BOOK BY PHONE

Our phone lines are open at 8am. This is usually a busy time so we recommend ringing later in the morning for non-urgent requests and queries. If requesting an appointment, please be prepared to give our team as much information as possible to help us understand your requirements.

Face to face appointments are normally arranged after a telephone assessment has been completed. You may be asked to complete an eConsult request in certain circumstances.

In addition to our GPs, we have access to a wide range of healthcare professionals and services which may provide the most appropriate response for your needs. 

Urgent cases will be seen as a priority and less urgent cases can be booked ahead.

Our Advanced Nurse Practitioners are able to deal with many routine adult cases and can issue prescriptions or refer top other health professionals.

VIDEO CONSULTATION

Video consultations mean that patients can have an appointment by a completely secure video link from the comfort of their own home. 

To access the video consultation, please contact the practice. The service can be accessed once a remote clinical triage has been conducted.

CHAPERONE

If you believe that you would require the presence of a chaperone during an examination or consultation by one of our clinicians, please ask our receptionist at the time of booking your appointment. (You may, if necessary, make such a request in the course of a consultation.)

Our clinicians may also request the presence of a chaperone if they believe the circumstances warrant it. 

FACE TO FACE CONSULTATIONS

Face to face appointments may be arranged following prior triage by a GP.
Please contact the surgery reception by telephone. Do not come to the surgery if you have covid-19 symptoms. When calling the practice, please be prepared to give details to our team so that we can arrange for the most appropriate service to meet your needs.

HOME VISITS

Most medical problems can be dealt with at the surgery, and patients are generally encouraged to attend the practice for a consultation with their doctor, if at all possible.

However, we fully understand that some conditions or circumstances make surgery attendance impossible. In such cases we would ask that you phone the surgery before 10am.

TRANSLATION SERVICES
