• GP Access Centres provide additional clinical times, during a period when there are considerable pressures on your GP practice. This service enables patients to receive timely access to primary care services in in their locality, but not necessarily at their usual GP practice. Access appointments can be booked via your own GP or by calling NHS 111.
• We provide appointments with healthcare professionals such as GPs and experienced nurses. We also provide wound dressing appointments.
• If you have a dressing appointment, please bring your dressing with you.
• The appointments will usually be face-to-face, with a dedicated time. The appointment time offered is approximate and you may need to wait a short time until you are called to be seen.
• Whilst every effort will be made to see you as quickly as possible, please be advised that there could be a delay and patients who are deemed very unwell may be seen before you are.
• We can only provide a limited number of appointments so when all appointments are taken patients must seek medical advice either through their own GP if open, 111. Their local urgent treatment centre or A&E.
