Extended Access

In addition to the practice’s normal opening hours, and additional surgery opening times as stated above, you can also book an appointment to see a local clinician in the evenings or on Saturday and Sunday at locations across Redditch and Bromsgrove.

GP practices are working together to provide extended access appointments to our patients. This means that your extended access appointment may be with a different GP, nurse or based in a different location or practice than you are used to, and some of these appointments are telephone only.

These appointments are pre-bookable during normal surgery hours – when calling please ask for an extended access appointment and our Care Navigators will direct you to the most appropriate appointment.

NAMED ACCOUNTABLE GP

​

From 1st April 2014, the practice was required under the terms of the GP contract to ensure all patients aged 75 and over were allocated a Named Accountable GP. From 1 April 2015 this was extended to all registered patients in the practice. Your Named Accountable GP will be the named doctor you are registered with. If you wish to be told the name of your Accountable GP, please ask the receptionists when you are next in the surgery.

​

Having a named GP does not prevent you seeing any other doctor in the practice and you should continue to book appointments as you normally would. Your named GP will not be available at all times and if your needs are urgent, you may need to discuss them with an alternative doctor. If you do wish to express a preference please let the receptionist know and we will try to accommodate your request. If you do not hear back from the practice we can confirm this change will be made.
