IMPROVING ACCESS TO GENERAL PRACTICE

EVENING AND WEEKEND APPOINTMENTS

Improving access to general practice: evening and weekend appointments now available

Patients who are registered at this practice can now book an appointment to see a GP or nurse on weekday evenings (after 6.30pm) or at the weekends (on Saturday and Sunday). The extended service is delivered by Bolton GP Federation. http://www.boltongpfederation.co.uk/

Appointments will either take place at this practice or at another NHS setting nearby at Deane or Halliwell health Centre’s. Ask the practice receptionist to find out more or book an appointment

By March 2019 everyone in England will benefit from access to general practice appointments in the evenings and weekends at a time that is most convenient to them. This is part of a national drive to help improve access to general practice and get the best possible outcomes for patients. Further information is available at www.england.nhs.uk/gpaccess
