Out-of-hours GP services are changing

We want to provide the right services at a time which is convenient for you. We’ve listened to feedback from people in our local area, and we are making changes to our out-of-hours appointments to deliver better services for you.

The new way of delivering out-of-hours appointments will give you:

· Access to more healthcare professionals. This new service will be delivered by professionals including GPs, Nurses and Health Care Assistants.

· More choice about the type of appointment you want. These include a mixture of in-person face-to-face appointments, and remote appointments like telephone, video, or online appointments.

· Make it more convenient for you to travel to out-of-hours appointments. These appointments are being planned and delivered locally, so it is likely they will available closer to your home.

From Saturday 1 October 2022, out-of-hours appointments will be available from 6.30pm to 8.30pm on weekdays, and from 9am to 5pm on Saturdays.

Out-of-hours appointments were previously planned by Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) on behalf of many GP practices in a bigger area. From Saturday 1 October 2022, this is now being planned and delivered locally by Primary Care Networks (PCNs).

We are working together with other GP practices in our local area as part of the Brentwood Primary Care Network. You can find out more about Brentwood Primary Care Network on our PCN website at www.brentwoodpcn.nhs.uk

The Brentwood Primary Care Network A collaboration of eight GP practices serving approximately 79,000 patients from the Brentwood area. www.brentwoodpcn.nhs.uk

An out-of-hours appointment for New Surgery patients will be carried out by ACE at our Brambles surgery.  

These appointments will not be available as walk-in appointments. You will need to book them in advance

To book an out-of-hours appointment, you should contact us in the usual way. Our reception team will advise you on the appointments which are available, and which healthcare professional is the right person to help you.

If you need medical help now but it’s not an emergency, you can also go to 111 online or call 111.
