Extended Access

Evening and weekend appointments are now available with GPs, practice nurses and other healthcare professionals for routine pre-booked services

The Fylde Coast NHS is committed to improving access to primary care services. This includes making appointments available at times that are convenient to patients.

About the service

The Fylde Coast NHS has arranged for additional appointments to be provided outside of normal GP practice hours by the Fylde Coast Integrated Urgent Care Service.

– find it difficult to attend an appointment during the working day;
– are a busy parent with small children;
– or rely on working carers to take you to appointments;

then this service is here to support you.

The service offers pre-bookable, routine primary care appointments with a range of clinicians including GPs, nurses and health care assistants.

The service employs local clinicians from the Fylde Coast, where possible.

How to book

To book an appointment you can contact your own GP practice or book directly by calling 01253 952 950.

An appointment must have been booked in advance of visiting the extended hours service; this is not a drop-in service.

Should you need to cancel your appointment please contact your GP practice. If your GP practice is closed please contact the extended access service directly.

  • Extended hours appointments are for routine general practice issues and not for urgent care. If urgent care is required please call NHS111 for advice.
  • Please note that when you book an appointment the practice will ask you for consent to share your detailed GP record with the clinician providing the care.
