We are part of a network of practices (known as ‘hubs’) in Shropshire working together to offer patients ‘Extended Access’ to pre-bookable appointments – in the evenings, at the weekend and during bank holidays.

Part of the national agenda by NHS England, Extended Access means patients will be able to make pre-bookable appointments to see a GP, practice nurse, or other qualified healthcare professional, at a time which may be more convenient for them.

In Shropshire, local practices work together in a network of ‘hubs’ to provide this service. The ‘hubs’ take turns to provide the Extended Access appointments to patients.

This means patients could be offered an appointment at their own surgery or at a nearby practice in the local area (part of the hub).

Patients are advised about appointment location at time of booking, enabling them to make an informed choice about their where and when they access care.
