How will patients access these services?
All patients registered with Orrell Park Medical Centre will be able to book appointments with their local extended access service via the practice.
Anyone contacting NHS 111 who may be appropriately seen by the extended GP access service will also be offered an appointment by the call handler.
Are there things the new services won’t offer?
These are not ‘list based’ services, so patients cannot register with them like a regular GP practice. It is therefore not intended to offer all services that you would expect from a traditional GP practice.
Whilst the services will prescribe any medicines that patients’ need as a result of their appointment, they will not be able to issue repeat prescriptions. This remains the responsibility of the GP practice the patient is registered with.
