This is an initiative across Devon whereby patients can make appointments at extended times. This can be early morning appointments from 7am, evening appointments till 8pm, and selected Saturdays.

Appointment types will vary, some being face to face and some via telephone. There will be a mixture of pre-bookable and same day appointments available across the week. They may be with a doctor, paramedic, nurse or other health care practitioner.

To book an evening appointment please contact your registered practice during normal opening times, this will help us to signpost you to the most appropriate option for your particular problem.

By contacting us we can fully explain the process, ensure that the booking is appropriate and cover all the relevant information and consent that we need to before we book an appointment for you.
