Primary Care Networks & Extended Hours
As part of the ongoing changes to primary care within the NHS, new organisations called Primary Care Networks (PCN) have been established. Westcoates Health Centre is part of Orion PCN. The first additional service being commissioned by NHS England through the PCNs is the extended hours clinics. Our PCN will be providing the extended hours service every weekday, 6.30-8pm, and a Saturday clinic, service will be based at Westcotes Health Centre (Ground Floor). These Extended access clinics are available to patients registered at any of the Orion PCN practices. The service will offer both face to face and telephone appointments and will be provided by skill mixed of health care professionals including GPs, according to availability of staff. As a PCN, we will be working towards offering new and innovative ways of consultations through the extended hours appointments in future and will keep the patients up to date of any forthcoming changes. You will be offered / or you can request Saturday morning appointments through the reception We hope patients will find these extended hours of service useful and thank you for your help in making them run efficiently.
