Turton Extended Hours Service

Posted on:

From the 1st of October, there will be the facility to arrange appointments for evenings and weekends at different health centres. There will be appointments with GP’s and Practice Nurses for various problems, and will be available for those patients who may find it difficult to get to the Surgery within the usual opening hours, such as people who work a long distance away, or people who are carers for other people or family members.

The hours of operation will be:

  • Monday to Friday – 6.30pm – 8.00pm
  • Saturdays – 9.00am to 5.00pm

Appointments will be offered at the following health centres:

  • Monday – Egerton and Dunscar Health Centre
  • Tuesday – Harwood Medical Centre
  • Wednesday – Egerton and Dunscar Health Centre
  • Thursday – The Oaks Practice
  • Friday – The Oaks Practice
  • Saturday – Harwood Medical Centre

Patients should be aware you may not see your usual GP or Practice Nurse, as clinicians work on a rota basis from different Practices. Please contact the Surgery if you would like to arrange one of these appointments.

Please note, if you need to amend or cancel any of these booked appointments, please call reception on 463232 before 6.30pm, or 01204 462050 after 6.30pm.

THESE SERVICES ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY AND ARE NOT FOR EMERGENCY OR WALK-IN TREATMENT. IF YOU REQUIRE URGENT MEDICAL CARE, PLEASE CALL EITHER 111 OR THE OUT OF HOURS SERVICE.

If you have any queries regarding this, please speak to reception staff who will be happy to provide more details.
