At Lockfield Surgery, we often hear from patients who feel they can’t access appointments because they’re at work during the day. We understand how challenging it can be to balance work and health, which is why there are evening and weekend GP appointments available across local Extended Access Hubs.

These appointments are designed specifically to make healthcare more accessible, whether that means after work, later in the evening, or on Saturdays.

We know travelling a little further or at a different time isn’t always ideal, but when it comes to your health, having access to care when you need it is what matters most. If you’re able to wait for a routine appointment, that’s absolutely fine. If you feel you need to be seen sooner, these additional services are there to help.

We really encourage everyone to consider using these options. They’re there to make things easier and ensure you can still be seen, even with a busy schedule.

📞 To book an evening or weekend appointment, please call: 01922 501999

Your health matters… and there are more options available than you might think.

With half-term coming up, parents and carers across the Black Country are being encouraged to check their child’s vaccination record and book any missed appointments.

Local catch-up clinics are available, making it easy to get children protected without missing school time.

Vaccinations offered at these clinics include:
• MMR (measles, mumps and rubella)
• MenACWY (meningitis A, C, W and Y)
• DTaP/IPV (diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and polio)
• HPV (human papillomavirus, where age-appropriate)

If you’re not sure whether your child is up to date, don’t worry – the team will check and advise you when you book.

Vaccinations help protect your child from serious illnesses and reduce the spread of infection in schools and the wider community.

You can book an appointment directly : https://blackcountry.icb.nhs.uk/your-health/health-advice/vaccinations/child-vaccine-catch-clinics
