Out-of-hours GP services appointments

GP practices across Canvey Island Primary Care Network are working together to provide the right services at a time which is convenient for you. We’ve listened to feedback from people in our local area, and we are making changes to our out-of-hours appointments to deliver better services for you.

The new way of delivering out-of-hours appointments will give you:

• Access to more healthcare professionals. This new service will be delivered by professionals including GPs, nurses, healthcare assistants and paramedics.
• More choice about the type of appointment you want. These include a mixture of in-person face-to-face appointments, and remote appointments like telephone, video, or online appointments.
• Make it more convenient for you to travel to out-of-hours appointments. These appointments are being planned and delivered locally, so it is likely they will available closer to your home.

We also have some early-morning phlebotomy appointments.

These appointments will not be available as walk-in appointments. You will need to book them in advance by asking at your regular GP practice during their normal opening hours, or by calling 07542 905713 on the day.

Appointments are delivered from Oaklands Surgery at Central Canvey Primary Care Centre, Long Road, Canvey SS8 0JA.

If you need medical help now but it’s not an emergency, you can also go to 111 online or call 111.

Patients registered with a Canvey practice can also benefit from extra GP appointments on Monday to Saturday, via our Capacity and Access clinic. Appointments are available via your own practice.
