UPCOMING CLOSURES

GP Extended Access Service

Who can I access these appointments?

Anyone registered with a GP practice in Newham.

How do I book an appointment?

Contact your GP practice in the usual way to request an appointment. If there is no appointment available at your practice, they may offer you an appointment with the GP Extended Access Service, if this is right for you.

If your practice is closed and you need a GP, please contact the out-of-hours service  NHS 111. They will also be able to book an appointment for you with the GP Extended Access Service. Please note that your consent will be required in order for an appointment to be booked for you.   

For further information or how to book an appointment online please ask at your GP practice.

If urgent care is required please call ‘111’ for further advice. If your need is life threatening, please go to A&E or call 999.

For support with the management of minor ailments, please contact your local pharmacist or visit the NHS Choices website or Health Help Now .

What can I be seen for?

A GP Extended Access appointment is exactly like an appointment at your own GP practice.  The service can see babies and children and has nurse appointments for treatments such as wound care and ear irrigation.

Will I see my own GP and/or nurse?

You will be seen by experienced Newham GPs and nurses, but it is unlikely that you will be seen by your own GP or nurse. If you would prefer to see your usual GP or practice nurse, please book an appointment with your usual practice during their normal opening hours.

Will the GP I see have access to my medical record during my appointment?

Your medical record will, with your consent, be available to the GP that sees you, to ensure that they have the information they need to give you the best possible care. Notes of your appointment will be sent back to your own GP practice electronically to ensure that your record is up-to-date. An appointment with this service will be just like an appointment at your own GP practice.

How do I cancel an appointment?

If you need to cancel the appointment, please call 0207 540 9949 and leave a message stating your name and the time and date of your appointment with the GP Extended Access Service.

Where do I go for my appointment?

The service is located at either, Glen Road Medical Centre, Plashet Medical Centre or Westbury Road Surgery
