Extended Access Lincolnshire East Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is pleased to confirm that all patients within the CCG area can now access general practice services at evenings and weekends. This is an extension of your usual GP services and is for routine booked appointments. Patients now have access to GP services at evenings and weekends if they are registered with a local GP Practice. The booked appointment will take place at one of three local extended access hubs. All appointments can be booked through your own GP practice or through NHS111 when your practice is closed, either for same day booked appointments or to book in advance.
