Evening and weekend appointments
Evening and Weekend appointments are available at this GP practice or at an NHS service nearby. To book at these times, contact the Surgery. This practice is a member of the Meridian Medical Primary Care Network (MMPCN) and supports the delivery of Enhanced Access Provision. We work collaboratively to deliver these services with other member practices from Tasburgh Lodge Surgery, James Street Surgery and Marsh Medical Practice.
Lincolnshire and District Medical Services (LADMS) is a private limited company working in partnership with Meridian Medical PCN to provide NHS out of hours GP appointments through the Enhanced Access Service; also known as Enhanced Access Hubs. Although, LADMS is separate to your GP practice, its purpose remains to deliver the same high standard of patient centred health care that you receive via your local GP.
Following your appointment with the Enhanced Access Service, you may be referred to a healthcare provider for further treatment. Should this be necessary, LADMS will send you a covering letter and referral information explaining next steps via Royal Mail; LADMS contact details will be provided on the letter should you have any queries.
The opening hours are 18:30 to 20:00 Monday to Friday and 09:00 to 17:00 Saturdays (closed for bank holidays). The service is based at Woldside, County Hospital, Louth.
