Extended access to GP services

Non-urgent advice: COVID-19 pandemic update

This service was temporarily suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic, however a decision has now been taken for it to resume.

The Whitegate Drive, Blackpool, service restarted on Saturday 5 September 2020. All other services restarted on Monday 7 September 2020.

Your appointment may be carried out virtually over the phone or via video consultation where appropriate.

Evening and weekend appointments

Evening and weekend appointments are available with GPs, practice nurses and other healthcare professionals for routine pre-booked services.

The Fylde Coast NHS is committed to improving access to primary care services. This includes making appointments available at times that are convenient to patients.

If you:

  • find it difficult to attend an appointment during the working day;
  • are a busy parent with small children;
  • or rely on working carers to take you to appointments;

then this service is here to support you.

About the service

The Fylde Coast NHS has arranged for additional appointments to be provided outside of normal GP practice hours by the Fylde Coast Integrated Urgent Care Service.

The service offers pre-bookable and same-day routine primary care appointments with a range of clinicians including GPs, nurses and health care assistants.

Please be aware that this is not a walk-in service – you must have an appointment.

The service employs local clinicians from the Fylde Coast, where possible.
