Enhancing Access to General Practice Services

Enhancing Access to General Practice Services

As part of the North West London Access Improvement Programme, we are implementing a structured plan to enhance patient access to high-quality, timely, and personalised care. The following key areas outline our current focus:

Timely Access to Care

We offer enhanced appointment availability, including during evenings, weekends, and Bank Holidays, via our Access hubs in collaboration with the WL GP Federation. For urgent clinical issues, we aim to provide a same-day or next-day response.

Continuity of Care for Complex Needs

Patients with ongoing or complex health conditions are supported with an emphasis on continuity of care, ensuring access to the same clinical team whenever clinically appropriate.

Optimising Digital Access

Optimising Digital Access

We encourage the use of the NHS App and our digital consultation platforms to facilitate efficient triage, remote consultations, and ongoing management of health conditions from home. You can find out how to register for the NHS App here.

Personalised Navigation and Support

Our trained Neighbourhood Navigators and reception staff are available to direct patients to the most appropriate service – whether that involves a clinician, allied health professional, or community-based resource.

Continuous Quality Improvement

We actively monitor service performance and incorporate patient feedback to inform service development and patient experience.
