Enhanced access

The GP extended hours service is designed to provide patients with appointments outside core general practice hours for routine care. We offer Saturday morning appointments and also late evening appointments during the week. These appointments are designed for patients who work and who find it difficult to come to the surgery during the working week. Please note that these are GP appointments only and must be booked in advance.
