Improved Access

Improved Access is a new initiative across Somerset whereby patients can make appointments at extended times (up until 20:00 at night Monday-Friday and on Saturday mornings) at other practices across the local area. Practices working together to deliver extended access to appointments are listed on the poster below.

Appointment types will vary: some being face to face and some on the phone. There will be a mixture of pre-bookable and same day appointments available across the week. They may be with a doctor but could also be with another healthcare professional such as a primary care practitioner or a nurse. We are keen to balance the importance of continuity of care with convenient access for patients whilst ensuring that the service is safe.

To book an evening or weekend appointment please contact your registered practice during normal opening times, this will help us to signpost you to the most appropriate option for your particular problem. By contacting us we can fully explain the process, ensure that the booking is appropriate (as we hope to be able to meet your needs by offering an appointment with your usual GP) and cover all the relevant information (and consent) that we need to before we book an appointment for you.

Improved access times for the North Sedgemoor Primary Care Network are shown below.

Monday evenings 18:30 – 20:00 Burnham & Berrow Medical Centre
Tuesday evenings 18:30 – 20:00 Cheddar Medical Centre
Wednesday evenings 18:30 – 20:00 Axbridge and Wedmore Medical Practice & Burnham & Berrow Medical Centre
Thursday evenings 18:30 – 20:00 Highbridge Medical Centre
Friday evenings 18:30 – 20:00 Brent Area Medical Centre

All of the above surgeries (except Cheddar) offer appointments on a Saturday morning on a rota basis.
