Extended Access & Out of Hours
Non-urgent advice: Enhanced Access Scheme
The Practice is a member of i3 Ladywood Primary Care Network (PCN), which covers a population of around 73,000 patients and 9 GP Practices.
Being part of the PCN means that the following services are provided, outside of our normal hours.
Monday to Friday – 6.30pm to 8.00pm – One of the PCN’s Hubs operates from Newtown Medical Centre for the benefit of all patients in the PCN.
Saturdays – 9.00am – 5.00pm – An Extended Access Service is provided from the Church Road Surgery, 28 Church Road, Aston, Birmingham B6 5UP. On these days telephone calls to the Practice (0121 203 0666) will be diverted to Church Road Surgery between the hours of 9:00am – 5:00pm.
When the Practice and the Enhanced Access Service is closed, all calls to the Practice are diverted to Badger, who are our ‘out of hours’ service provider.
Non-urgent advice: When We Are Closed
If you need to see a GP outside of normal surgery hours please telephone the usual number 0121 203 0666 and you will automatically be connected to BADGER medical services. Please note this service is not for routine appointments.
NHS Walk-in Centres
NHS walk-in centres provide advice and treatment for a range of minor illnesses and injuries. The nearest one is Birmingham NHS Walk-In Centre, Lower Ground Floor, Boots The Chemists, 66 High Street, Birmingham, West Midlands, B4 7TA, 0121 255 4500.
Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.
In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
