Access Service
In Hours - Extended Primary Care Hub - Whitehall Street and the Phoenix Centre
RHA is commissioned to provide an In Hours Same Day GP Appointments Service. GP Practices are under extreme pressures and appointments can be difficult to get due to this. To try and ensure that patients who, following clinical triage, by their GP practice need to be seen by a GP, can be booked into one of these appointments so that they are seen on the same day.
This service runs Monday to Friday between 10:00 and 18:00 at Whitehall Street and the Phoenix Centre.
