Enhanced Access
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

Life Threatening
Call 999 or go to A&E now if:
- you or someone you know needs immediate help
- you have seriously harmed yourself - for example, by taking a drug overdose
A mental health emergency should be taken as seriously as a medical emergency.
Urgent But Not Life Threatening
Visit an urgent care centre if:
- You have an urgent medical issue requiring on the day attention
Non-urgent
Use NHS 111 if:
- You need help now, but it's not an emergency
There will be someone to provide you with advice and to direct you to a clinician if it is necessary.
