Enhanced Access appointments

In North West Leicestershire there are 12 practices who work in collaboration and collectively are known as a Primary Care Network (PCN).

Part of being in a PCN allows us to work differently and provide services jointly or at scale. A great example of this was the Covid Vaccination hub that was provided from Measham Leisure Centre during 2020/21 and this has left us with a successful model for future projects.

From 1st October 2022 the PCN will be providing Enhanced Access (extra) appointments and these will be available to patients:-

Monday to Friday – 6.30pm to 8pm,
Saturday – 9am to 5pm.
As a PCN collative these appointments will be delivered from two hub locations and we will rotate between:-

Castle Medical Group – Ashby de la Zouch
Long Lane Surgery – Coalville

The services we will be offering will include GP appointments, smears, dressings, blood tests, long term condition reviews, vaccinations and other services will be added as required to meet the needs of our patient populations.

This is a bookable appointment service and all appointments are available to book and cancel through your own GP practice.

When your practice is closed please telephone 01530 566550, if we are unable to answer your call please leave a message or alternatively you can email [email protected]. We will also be making online booking functionality available for this service, details will be added to our practice website once these bookable appointments have gone live.

Please note that we will also be continuing to deliver our early morning pre booked appointments on Wednesday and Thursdays from 7am to 8am and our evening appointments on Tuesday from 6.30pm to 8pm.
