Extended Access Hub

From 1 April 2019 patients registered with GP surgeries in Corby will have access to up to 150 more appointments per week as NHS Corby CCG introduces a new Extended Access Hub. The additional appointments will mean patients can access General Practice services between 6.30pm and 8pm on weekdays and slots will be available at weekends, Bank Holidays and over Christmas and Easter at Woodsend Medical Centre.

Corby’s new Extended Access Hub will allow patients to book routine appointments with a GP or other healthcare professional, including GPs, nurses, physiotherapists and health care assistants, seven days a week. The service will be tailored to meet the needs of the Corby population.

To access this service, call your own GP practice where receptionists will be able to access and book evening, weekend and Bank Holiday appointments where appropriate. 

Patients needing healthcare when their practice is closed should continue to call NHS 111.

If you do not have an appointment Out of Hours are still responsible for your care and you will have to contact NHS 111  by telephoning 111 or Corby Urgent Care Centre is open from 8am until 8pm and they can be contacted on 01536 202121
