Extra Appointments at HUBs for when you need an Urgent appointment or Other Non Urgent Follow Up
Appointments at the healthcare hubs can only be booked by GP practices, during practice opening hours of 8:00am to 6:30pm Mon-Fri. When your practice is closed, call NHS 111 for advice.
An appointment at a hub is not suitable in all cases. It is important that you tell the receptionist why you need an appointment so that it is booked in the right location and so you don’t have a wasted journey. For example, the hubs will not be able to issues an extension to a fit note.
You can still see a GP or prescribing nurse, just as you would with your usual GP practice, and the hubs are open during the evenings, weekends and bank holidays.
- Monday to Friday: 8:00am to 10:00pm
- Weekends and Bank Holidays: 8:00am to 8:00pm
Opening times vary between sites.
