Improved Access Appointments

Evening and Saturday Morning Clinics

As a member of Practice of Cheltenham Peripheral Cluster we are also participate in the provision of Improved Access Appointments via a shared rota. This gives patients an opportunity to book an appointment with a general practice each weekday, Monday to Friday, 18:30 – 20:00, and Saturday mornings from 08:30 – 12:30.

Records are shared across the practices with adherence to strict IT Governance and Confidentiality rules and a signed Information Sharing Agreement has been signed and approved by each practice Named Improved Access Lead and approved by each practice Caldicott Guardian.

The Cheltenham Peripheral Cluster consists of 5 GP practices:

Patients from cluster practices are managed under our current registered Regulated Activities and consulting GP responsibility agreement.

We also have access to appointments on a Saturday afternoon and Sunday via the Gloucestershire wide extended access scheme. Within Cheltenham these are available at Overton Park Surgery. These appointments are booked via the practice as per our normal process.
