Bolton GP Surgeries - Evening & Weekend Appointments

Changes to our Enhanced Access Service

From 1 October, there will be some small changes to the appointments that we make available for our patients during the evenings and weekends. These changes are being made to ensure we meet the requirements set by NHS England. We have worked closely with Bolton GP Federation (who provide these appointments on our behalf) to make sure they meet your needs too.

 What’s the same:

 We will still provide evening and weekend appointments for you during the following times:

  • Monday to Friday, 6:30pm to 9:30pm
  • Saturdays 9am to 5pm
  • Sundays 9am to 5pm (Farnworth & Kearsley PCN only)*

The Enhanced Access Team is made up of lots of different specialists, that have been specially selected to meet patients’ needs, and appointments will be booked for with the most appropriate clinician, which could include a GP, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Nurse, Health Care Assistant, Mental Health Practitioner or Physiotherapist.

Patients will be offered the choice of both face-to-face and telephone appointments.

What’s different:

  • Patients will be able to access face-to-face appointments closer to home at Farnworth & Kearsley

  • Bank holiday appointments will no longer be provided by this service. However, should you need support from a GP on a Bank Holiday, you can still contact the out of hours service on 0161 763 8940 or the 111 service.

Practice receptionists will ensure that patients needing this service can access the available appointments. To book an appointment, patients should contact their GP practice 01204 462200

This is not a walk-in service; therefore these non-urgent and routine appointments must be booked in advance through your own GP surgery. Please speak to your GP receptionist for more information

If you wish to cancel your appointment please contact your GP practice, if your practice is closed, please telephone 0161 763 8941 to cancel.
