Extended Access service for Rural Warwickshire North Primary Care Network
About the Extended Access service for Rural Warwickshire North Primary Care Network
Dordon and Polesworth Group Practice, Satis House Medical Practice, Pear Tree Surgery, Camp Hill Health Centre and Chaucer Surgery now offer a mixture of telephone and face to face appointments based on clinical need with a GP in the evening and at weekends to ensure that patients are able to be seen within Primary Care.
Dordon and Polesworth Group Practice currently offers evening telephone consultations with Doctors and face to face early morning appointments with a Practice Nurse and Health Care Assistant.
However, the following patients should not be booked into Extended Access at the present time:
- Medication review (the service requires a more complete access to patient records to undertake these)
- Long term mental health conditions including psychosis
- Acutely suicidal patients
- Acute chest pain that sounds like a Myocardial Infarction (MI)
