Primary Care Networks & Extended Hours
As part of the ongoing changes to primary care within the NHS, organisations called Primary Care Networks (PCN) have been established. Beaumont Lodge Medical Practice is part of the Across Leicester PCN.
The service will offer both face to face and telephone appointments and will be provided by skill mixed of health care professionals including GPs. As a PCN, we will be working towards offering new and innovative ways of consultations through the extended hours appointments in future and will keep the patients up to date of any forthcoming changes. You will be offered / or you can request Saturday morning and Monday evening appointments through the reception.
We hope patients will find these extended hours of service useful and thank you for your help in making them run efficiently.
