In conjunction with our current late evening Commuter Clinic already running on a Wednesday, we will be having two additional clinics running on a Monday evening and also a 3 hour session on Saturday morning, additionally we will also be increasing the number of appointments on Wednesday evening.

These sessions will take place at Welbeck Road and will be made up of bookable appointments available in advance and on the same day like our existing appointments. The weekday clinics will run until 8pm on Monday and 8.30pm on Wednesday and the Saturday morning clinic will run between 9am and 12noon.

GP Direct is responding to the changing needs of general practice and sees the extension of our opening hours as a paramount factor in improving the level and quality of service in todays NHS. We hope that the new system will help in providing our patients with the level of care that they deserve.
