Evening and weekend appointments
Improved Access is a Wiltshire-wide initiative where local practices are working together to offer increased availability of services and appointments in the evenings and the weekend. These appointments are available 6:30pm to 8:00pm Monday-Friday, and some Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays. This collaboration by practices will ensure all patients in Wiltshire have this option, but this might mean you will be offered an appointment at another practice.
Appointment types will vary - some being face-to-face, some on the phone - and there will be a mixture of bookable and same-day appointments available across the week. We will be offering appointments with GPs as well as with other healthcare professionals, such as a Practice Nurse or Health Care Assistant.
When booking an appointment a receptionist will explain the process, and ensure the booking is appropriate. You will need to give consent to use this service.
Home Visits
We will visit patients at home if they are housebound or genuinely too unwell to come to the surgery. If you think you need a home visit, please call the surgery and select the option for home visits.
To request a home visit, it’s helpful if you phone the surgery as soon after 8am as possible.
Home visits are undertaken by both GP's and Emergency Care Practitioners.
If you need help with your appointment
Please tell us:
- If there’s a specific doctor, nurse or health professional you would prefer to speak to.
- If you would prefer to consult with the doctor or nurse by phone or face-to-face.
- If you need an interpreter.
- If you have any other access or communication needs.
