Federation Services
Extended Hours service
Extended Access provides appointments for patients across Derwentside outside of normal GP opening times.
Increasing patients’ access to appointments is a priority in the NHS. While demand has grown, people also need more flexibility around where and when they can be seen.
Patients can access these appointments through their usual surgery in the first instance, or through calling 111 if their practice is closed. Appointments will be held at Tanfield View Surgery in Stanley, however during the winter months a secondary site at Consett Medical Centre will open as well.
