The new national extended access initiative will improve access to primary care services in North West Surrey. This means in addition to being able to book GP appointments at your local practice, you will also have access to additional appointments during the evenings and at weekends at four locations across the local area.

The extra appointments are being provided by the GP federation that brings together all 40 GP practices in the local area and is known as North West Surrey Integrated Care Services.

By working together in a new and different way, local GP practices will be improving access to primary care appointments, making it even easier for local people to get the care and advice they need, at a time that’s convenient to them. These additional appointments will be available from 18:00-21:00 on weekday evenings (including bank holidays – but not in August) and from 09:00-12:00 at weekends.

Book an Appointment

Patients can book these appointments through their local GP practice. As these extra appointments are provided from four GP surgeries in the area, the GP or clinician will have access to your medical record, with your consent, giving them access to all the information they would need to provide the best possible care.

The additional appointments will be provided at the following locations – patients in North West Surrey can book appointments at any of these sites:

The Red Practice 
Walton Health Centre
Rodney Road
Walton-on-Thames
KT12 3LB

Studholme Medical Centre
50 Church Road
Ashford
TW15 2TU

Sunbury Health Centre
Green Street
Sunbury-on-Thames
TW16 6RH

Woking Community Hospital
Heathside Road
Woking
GU22 7HS

Initially, these extra appointments will be provided by local GPs, but there are plans to extend this service to also include nurse-led clinics, blood tests, physiotherapy assessments and digital consultations (which includes online face to face consultations via a patient smartphone).
