Extended Hours Appointments

We do offer some pre-bookable extended hours appointments on a Monday and Tuesday evening. These are only available by pre booking the appointment and we would like to offer these to patients who aren't able to attend appointments within normal working hours. Please note that during these hours there is no telephone service after 6.00pm. Urgent calls will go to Out of Hours Service until 6.30pm and then please call 111 if you have an urgent medical problem which cannot wait until the surgery re-opens. Please also note that the Saturday morning surgery has now been stopped.

We're here for you evenings and weekends

Evening and weekend appointments are available at this GP practice or at an NHS service nearby – including for your vaccinations, health checks and screenings.

Improved Access

On the 1st October 2018 Improved Access was launched nationwide.

You can now see a GP or other healthcare professional during:

  • Weekday evenings between 6:30pm and 8pm (some practices offer early morning appointments)
  • Saturdays and Sundays/Bank Holidays

These appointments offered could be:

  • At your registered practice
  • At another local GP practices
  • At another local NHS service - such as a General Practice Hub

What type of appointments are available?

Evening appointments between 6:30pm to 8pm Monday to Friday will be offered by a practice in your local area. These appointments will be offered by a range of clinical professionals. Some practices in your local area may offer early morning appointments. 

On Saturdays, a clinical professional will be available between 8am to 12pm at a practice in your local area (times may vary).

On Sundays and Bank Holidays a GP will be available between 9am to 12:30pm at a hub in Tonbridge or Maidstone.

Who can book these appointments?

Improved Access appointments are available for all patients in West Kent, regardless of where they are located. This means that patients can be seen by a clinical professional 7 days a week, 52 weeks of the year. It will be unlikely that you will be seen by your normal GP and it is likely that you will have to go to a different surgery to your registered practice for these appointments.

How can I book an appointment? 

In order to book these appointments, you contact your surgery reception staff as normal. You will not be able to phone the reception staff on Saturdays, Sundays / Bank Holidays or between 6:30pm to 8pm Monday to Friday.
