Washington Enhanced Access Service is changing.
You may receive a text message to inform you of changes to the Sunderland GP Enhanced Access Service.
The Enhanced Access Service is a GP appointment service run by local healthcare staff which runs Monday to Friday 6.30pm to 8.30pm and Saturday 9am to 5pm. The service is available to all patients registered with a Washington GP Practice and can be ideal for those who cannot attend their GP Practice during normal practice hours.
The service currently runs Monday to Saturday from Washington Primary Care Centre but from 1st October 2024 the Enhanced Access Service will be held from Galleries Medical Practice (Galleries Health Centre) on Tuesday evenings 6.30pm to 8.30pm and Saturdays 9am – 5pm.
This will run alongside the current service which is located at Washington Primary Care Centre which will continue to run on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings 6.30pm to 8.30pm.
You may be offered an appointment at either location if appropriate.
There will be no change to the clinical services on offer.
