It's now easier for Hounslow residents to make appointments

It is now easier for residents in Hounslow to make a GP appointment at a time that suits them, including evenings, weekends and bank holidays.

GPs and nurses can now offer patients appointments from 6.30pm-8pm, Monday to Friday and from 8am-8pm, Saturday and Sunday.

These new hours are in addition to existing GP services, meaning that residents can now pre-book GP and nurse appointments from 8am-8pm seven days a week.

Any patient registered with a Hounslow GP can access these new appointments, which can be booked at your local GP practice or by calling NHS 111 when your GP practice is closed.

This is a really exciting time for Hounslow residents as they will now be able to make an appointment with a GP or nurse at a time and in a place that is convenient for them seven days a week.

This new offering is set to improve GP services as well as:

•  Improving patient experience

•  Reducing avoidable A&E visits and unscheduled hospital admissions.

Dr. Talac Mahmud, Hounslow GP said: “Our aim is to make GP services more accessible, especially for parents, carers and people of working age. We know that many people struggle to find GP and nurse appointments that fit in with their family life and work commitments.

By offering evening and weekend appointments we can make it easier for local people to see a GP at a time that suits them. It's fantastic news that all patients can now benefit from more responsive and accessible GP services.”

For more information or to book an appointment with a GP or nurse please contact your local GP practice or call NHS 111.
