Out of Hours

Enhanced Access

There is an extended hours surgery on a Monday evening for those patients needing an on-the-day appointment that are unable to attend during normal surgery hours.

If you need to be seen in this surgery the consulting GP will be able to advise you a time to come to the surgery.

Weekend Clinic information

This service is an enhancement to our weekday clinics, not all of our usual services can be offered, and you may be asked to return later in the day if you are requesting a walk-in appointment.

Many of you will already be aware that we currently offer a weekend service across the Christchurch locality which we formally call the "Enhanced Access Service".

This service is hosted by the Christchurch PCN located at either Higheliffe Medical Centre or Christchurch Medical - Barn surgery between 9am to 5pm (the last appointment being at 4:30pm).

The weekend clinics can be booked a few days prior by reception, through a call to 111, or we have a limited availability for walk-in appointments.

You will need to be registered with one of the sites within the Christchurch PCN to access this service:

  • Higheliffe Medical Centre
  • Farmhouse Surgery
  • Christchurch Medical Practice
  • Stour Surgery

Life Threatening

Call 999 or go to A&E now if:

  • you or someone you know needs immediate help
  • you have seriously harmed yourself – for example, by taking a drug overdose

A mental health emergency should be taken as seriously as a medical emergency.

Urgent But Not Life Threatening

Visit an urgent care centre if:

  • You have an urgent medical issue requiring on the day attention

Non-urgent
