We're grateful to our patients who take the time to share their feedback. Hearing about your experiences helps us understand how this service is supporting patients and how it can continue to meet local needs.
Below are some comments from patients who have used the enhanced access service appointments, which are delivered on behalf of your local GP practices.

If a Saturday morning appointment would be helpful for you, please contact your own GP practice to find out more and to book.

With the ongoing focus on the NHS, our member GP practices lost over 4000 appointments in March because their patients didn’t let them know that they were unable to attend. Each of our practices have a variety of ways that you can let them know to cancel your appointment including the NHS app. By cancelling, the appointment can be released for someone in need.

In March, we saw 677 patients in our Saturday Clinics at Swindon Health Centre and Taw Hill Medical Centre. There were also 77 patients who didn’t turn up for their appointment. We know life is a challenge but if you know you can’t make the appointment please let us know by emailing bswicb.brunelenhancedaccess@nhs.net ( the email shared on your appointment text confirmation and reminders). Thank you !
