GP 7 day working - Extended Access

From 1st September 2017 you can now book to see a GP or Nurse over the weekend, evenings or early mornings.  This is called the South Tyneside Extended Primary Care Service.

A small number of specific surgeries will open on different days and times to create more options for patients.

Appointments are pre-bookable only and should be booked Monday – Friday via your registered GP practice. (Please do not turn up outside normal working hours without booking an appointment as you will not be seen.)

The GP/Nurse is able to see your medical records provided you have given consent.

For further information or to book an appointment contact the Trinity team.

When We Are Closed

Out-of-hours calls are commissioned by the area team and are provided by Northern Doctors Urgent Care. Should you need to be seen out of surgery hours please telephone  111 the NHS 24-hour nurse led helpline which is a triage service who will direct you on the right pathway—do not attend A&E unless it is an acute emergency.

Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
