Opening times

If you need medical help now, use NHS 111 online or Call 111.

NHS 111 online is for people aged 5 and over. Call 111 if you need help for a child under 5.

Call 999 in a medical or mental health emergency. This is when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk.

The Enhanced Access Hours Service makes it easier for you to get an appointment at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends.  The service offers pre-bookable, routine primary care appointments with GPs, ANP, Nurses and Health Care Assistants. The service is provided at Garden Lane Practice and has to be booked by your GP Practice.

For more information on their extended access service, however more information can be found here: Enhanced Access | primarycarecheshire 

How do I book an appointment?

Contact your GP practice in the usual way to request an appointment. Some appointments will be available to book up to 2 weeks in advance and some will be available to book on the day. 

What can I be seen for?

A range of usual services will be available, from GP or Nurse appointments to Health Checks and Medication Reviews.

Who will I be seen by?

Your appointment will be with an experienced clinician. It is unlikely that you will be seen by your own GP or Nurse. If you would prefer to see your usual GP or Nurse, please book an appointment with your registered practice during their normal opening hours. 

Will the clinician I see have access to my medical record during my appointment?

Your medical record will, with your consent, be available to the clinician that sees you. Your record will be updated at the time of your appointment. An appointment with this service will be just like an appointment at your own GP practice.

practices across the Western Cheshire CCG close for one half day a month between 1pm - 5pm. This allows for staff to be given training and for practices to get together to share knowledge and learning. During the time that the practice is closed if you need urgent medical assistance which cannot wait until the surgery re-opens at 5pm, please dial 111.  Calls to the NHS 111 service are free from both land lines and mobiles.  If you have a life threatening medical emergency please dial 999.
