GP Extended Hours

Extended Hours

We hold early morning and late evening telephone appointments on Monday and Tuesdays. Please contact our reception team to book an appointment. Please note our Saturday clinics are prioritised for commuters and children who are unable to attend during normal opening times.

From 1 October 2022, our Primary Care Network will be providing enhanced access which includes providing services into the evenings and on Saturdays. This will provide patients with more access to a variety of primary care services. This is in line with all GP surgeries across England. 

Among the services available during these extra hours are vaccinations, cervical screening, health checks and medicine reviews, and you will be able to see or speak to a number of clinicians, including nurses, pharmacists and social prescribers. You may be offered one of these options when you contact us about an appointment.   

Some GP appointments may be available during these extra hours. 

The NHS across Mid Chiltern PCN has sought the views of local patients about what and how additional hours could best provide the services they need and we will continue to listen to feedback to make sure we are getting things right. 

Mid Chiltern PCN 

The practice forms part of the Mid Chiltern PCN and works alongside the below surgeries to offer the new Enhanced Access contract. Below are the practices that form Mid Chiltern PCN.

  • Amersham Health Centre
  • Hughenden Valley Surgery
  • John Hampden Surgery
  • Prospect House
  • Rectory Meadow Surgery
  • FedBucks Improved Access Hubs located at Wycombe Hospital, Stoke Mandeville Hospital and Threeways Surgery, Stoke Poges (Sundays and Bank Holiday weekends only).

All appointments need to be pre-booked, either in advance or on the day.

How to book an Improved Access appointment

Ring your GP Surgery as normal. If you would like an Improved Access appointment, the reception staff will tell you where clinics are being held on what day, and the times of the available appointments. A convenient appointment will be booked for you. If you use this service, it is very likely that you will be seen by a clinician from another surgery and not your own GP. The receptionist at your GP surgery will be able to provide details on this service to help you book an appointment.

This is NOT a walk in service – if you need urgent medical advice after 18:30, please phone NHS 111. NHS 111 will enable you to talk to a GP and book an urgent GP appointment if necessary. You can also use our local online symptom checker, Health Help Now (http://bucks.healthhelpnow.nhs.uk/) to help to find the right service in Buckinghamshire for your health needs.
