Extended Hours
As part of the Government’s plans to improve healthcare we open on Monday evenings & Wednesday early mornings, mainly to see patients who are unable to attend during the day for their appointment.
This service will be for routine medical conditions and is not an emergency service. The service is limited where doctors will be restricted in their physical examination of patients, and scope to arrange investigation. This is because of the absence of practice nursing / treatment room services and lab service back-up. Patients will therefore not be able to have blood tests, smear tests or an intimate examination requiring assistance from a chaperone, any chronic disease management review, or dressings but will have to return for a day-time appointment if these services are required. Young children and the elderly who require to be brought to the surgery by working family members will also be welcome to these appointments.
If you become unwell after 6pm please call NHS 24 as usual – 111.
