Enhanced Access providing patient access to appointments is being delivered directly by Nuneaton and Bedworth Primary Care Network on behalf of its 16 General Practices from April 2024; the service will offer improved access to appointments and other general practice services, virtually and face to face when your Practice is closed.
This ‘enhanced access’ means:
- GP services will be providing appointments until 8pm on weekdays, and from 9am-5pm on Saturdays as a minimum.
- Appointments will be both bookable in advance and available for same day (and able to be cancelled by the patient).
- A mix of services will be available within these additional hours with access to the range of health professionals working in the primary care team.
- There will be a choice of ways to access appointments depending on clinical need, such as telephone, online consultation, or face to face.
If a face-to-face appointment is needed, this will be at one of two GP practices in the local area.
Red Roofs Surgery
31 Coton Road, Nuneaton, CV11 5TW
Bulkington Surgery
School Road, Bulkington, CV12 9JB
Practitioners will include General Medical Practitioners (GP), Nurses, Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANP), Advanced Clinical Practitioners, and Health Care Assistant’s (HCA). As the service develops it is hoped to also include First Contact Practitioners, Pharmacists and Pharmacy technicians too.
Appointments will be available to book 14 days in advance.
The Enhanced Access service is to compliment you general practice delivery and will be run ‘initially’ virtually weekdays (Monday – Friday) between 18.30 and 20.00 and face to face on Saturdays from 09.00 – 17.00.
