The service is not an urgent care centre or walk-in-centre and hence an appointment is needed.
The Walsall Enhanced Access Service is designed to allow patients increased access to primary care appointments during the evenings, weekends and bank holidays when GP practices may be closed. Not only does this increase the availability of consultations but also offers a more convenient time for those who may not be able to attend the practice within the normal opening hours.
The service is open weekday evening, weekends and bank holidays and is operated from four hubs:
- The North Hub (Pinfold Health Centre, WS3 3JP)
- The South Hub (Broadway Medical Centre, WS1 3HD)
- The Walsall East Hub (Anchor Meadow Health Centre, WS9 8AJ)
- The West Hub (Darlaston Health Centre, WS10 8SY)
Patients from Walsall practices in the North, East 1, East 2, South 2 and West 2 PCNs can access these consultations by calling 01922 501999.
Telephone lines are open between 8.00am and 9.00pm weekdays and 10.00am and 3.00pm weekends for bookings or questions regarding the service.
The clinics are staffed by a wide range of clinicians, including General Practitioners, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Paramedics and Clinical Pharmacists.
Clinicians in these clinics have full access to your medical records and send all information relating to your consultation back to your registered GP. Spoken language and British Sign Language interpreters are available upon request. Please ensure that you inform the call handler of your requirements when booking.
