An innovative new scheme has been launched in East Lancashire to increase the number of GP appointments available to patients in the area.
The extended GP access scheme means that patients can make both face to face/telephone appointments with their GP practice to see a GP or Practice Nurse, from 6.30pm – 8.30pm on weekdays and 10am – 4pm on Saturday and Sunday.
The GPs will be able to access the patients full medical record and history. Appointments will be available as follows:
Burnley – St Peter’s Centre (Mon-Fri 6.30 – 8.30 and Sat-Sun 10 – 4)
Pendle – Yarnspinners Primary Health Care Centre (Mon – Fri 6.30 – 8.30 and Sat-Sun 10 – 4)
