All appointments need to be pre-booked, either in advance or on the day.
How to book an Improved Access appointment
Ring your GP Surgery as normal. If you would like an Improved Access appointment, the reception staff will tell you where clinics are being held on what day, and the times of the available appointments.
A convenient appointment will be booked for you.
If you use this service, it is very likely that you will be seen by a clinician from another surgery and not your own GP. The receptionist at your GP surgery will be able to provide details on this service to help you book an appointment.
This is NOT a walk in service, if you need urgent medical advice after 6.30pm, please phone NHS 111. NHS 111 will enable you to talk to a GP and book an urgent GP appointment if necessary.
You can also use our local online symptom checker, Health Help Now at http://bucks.healthhelpnow.nhs.uk/ to help to find the right service in Buckinghamshire for your health needs.
Weekly Evening Appointments at Denham are available on Tuesdays from 3pm - 8pm each week with our physiotherapist.
These appointments can be booked online or via our reception team.
