EXTENDED ACCESS
WHAT IS EXTENDED ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE?
The Government’s mandate to NHS England sets out that:
From October 2018, 100% of the country will benefit from extended access to GP appointments at evenings and weekends.
Appointments are defined as scheduled slots with a GP, nurse or other member of general practice staff providing direct patient care. Appointments must be pre-bookable and extended access means that these appointments must be available in the early mornings (before 8am Monday to Friday), in the evenings (after 6:30pm Monday to Friday) and at weekends (weekend timings to be confirmed later).
We are engaging with our patients and using the ideas and information they give us to develop the best model for our community.
You can share your views about what you think is needed to make this project work.
CURRENT EXTENDED ACCESS PROVISION
Extra appointments are available for all Rotherham patients and are designed to help people who struggle to attend their GP practice during the working week. Appointments can be booked by contacting your practice or by using the NHS Health App. We are regularly reviewing the services we can offer and will be updating the website and social media platforms when we can offer a wider range of services.
