>> CONTACT THE SURGERY THROUGH ACCURXExtended Access is an extension of your GP practice and offers routine and same day appointments with a range of clinicians including GPs, Nurses and other Healthcare Professionals.
Our practices within the PCN will be able to provide enhanced access appointments between the hours of 6.30pm to 8pm Mondays to Fridays and between 9am and 5pm Saturdays and Sundays.
Please be aware you may not see your regular clinician; all clinicians will have full access to your records and all information following your appointment will be available for your regular surgery to access.
Please see the Orchard Centre & Elliott Chappell Health Centre pages (links below) for further details. Patients need to contact our RECEPTION to access this service.
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.
If you're away from home and need to see a GP, you can contact any GP surgery nearby.
You can receive emergency treatment from a GP surgery for up to 14 days – for example, if you fall ill while on holiday. If your treatment will last longer than that, you'll have to register as a temporary or permanent resident.
You can register as a temporary resident if you're in the area for longer than 24 hours but less than 3 months. If you'll be in the area for longer than 3 months, you'll have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.
