How we have improved general practices recently.

We have recently improved general practices through the new enhanced access project which enables patients within Viaduct PCN to book Saturday appointments.

Enhanced Access

Primary Care Networks (PCN) are groups of GP Practices working together as a network, in which they are commissioned to deliver Enhanced Services. These services are provided by practices, over and above the core 8am-6pm contract from 1st October 2022. Therefore, this means patients will be able to access appointments in the evenings and on Saturdays as part of this Enhanced Access offer from PCNs.

Greenwood PCN and Viaduct Care Network have joined forces to offer patients additional access to General Practice on evenings and Saturdays. You can see a GP, advanced nurse practitioner, clinical pharmacist, physiotherapist or other health professional.  Some appointments may be provided at a nearby GP surgery or hub rather than your local practice.
