Out of Hours

GP Extended Hub Hours

Extended Hours at Neighbouring GP Surgeries

There are now extra GP appointments available in the evenings and on weekends for City and Hackney patients.

Who can access the service?

Patients registered with a City and Hackney GP practice can book an appointment through their GP practice. These appointments are not suitable for all types of problems. (Note: This is not a walk-in service)

Opening Times:

The hours are 7am to 8am and 6:30pm to 8pm on weekdays, and 9am to 4pm on weekends and Bank Holidays.

How do I book an appointment?

For now, you can book an appointment by contacting your own GP practice.

Consultation Expectations:

One benefit of the primary care extended access service is that the GP will have access to view your medical record during your visit, with your consent, to better understand your medical history.

Medical Record Access:

Only authorised staff within the service will have access to your medical record with your consent.

Non-Consent:

If you don't consent to share your medical records, inform the receptionist or GP when booking the appointment.

Tests and Referrals:

Any test requests or referrals will be sent back to your own GP practice to action.

  • you have seriously harmed yourself – for example, by taking a drug overdose

A mental health emergency should be taken as seriously as a medical emergency.
