Five local Cheltenham GP surgeries are working together to provide additional GP appointments for all their registered patients. They have called this group of practices the Cheltenham Peripheral Primary Care Network. The Network includes Winchcombe Medical Centre, Stoke Road Surgery, Cleevelands Medical Centre, Leckhampton Surgery & Sixways Clinic.
These appointments are available to you and your family up until 8pm, Monday to Friday and on Saturday mornings.
These daily appointments are pre-bookable and are available at the various surgery locations. Sixways Clinic as a host location has appointments every five weeks on a Saturday and every Monday evening.
Urgent appointments will also be available on Saturday afternoon and all day on Sunday up until 8pm in central locations in Cheltenham, Gloucester.
Who will see me and how will they know about me?
Depending on the appointments type this would be with a GP or a nurse. With your consent, they will have full access to your medical records, so you can be assured they will be aware of any ongoing condition. If you do not wish to share your records, you will need to let your practice know, but this could limit the appointments available to you.
