🚫 Please note, we are closed every 2nd Thursday of each month from 1:00pm onwards 🚫

Would you like an appointment with a GP, Nurse, or Health Care Practitioner in the evening, at the weekend or bank holidays when we are closed?

If so, you can book your appointment now by contacting us.

Enhanced Access Services are an extension of our usual service, it is not a walk-in service, and you will need to make an appointment through the practice reception. They are tailored to accommodate individuals with busy schedules, who have work and family commitments. 

Please note that whilst you may not get to see your own doctor during these hours, and it may not be at your own practice location, the GP or Nurse you see will have access to your medical record, subject to your consent.

APPOINTMENTS ARE AVAILABLE:

Monday to Friday - Daytime & Evenings
Saturday and Sunday - Daytime
Bank Holidays – Daytime

APPOINTMENT TYPES:

Face to Face – You will see a clinician in person and be required to go to the service location - usually at The Phoenix Centre, Heywood.

Telephone Consultation – You will be called by one of our clinicians during your appointment time. This will be from a withheld number and you will not be required to go to the service location unless offered at the time.

If you call us out of hours, you will be automatically diverted to our Out of Hours provider (BARDOC)
