Extended Access Services
A reliable team of clinical pharmacists extending your practice’s capacity beyond core hours to enhance access and continuity of care.
Extending Primary Care Beyond the 9–5
Our Extended Access Services are designed to help GP practices and Primary Care Networks meet NHS requirements for evening and weekend appointments, while maintaining high standards of clinical care. By integrating experienced pharmacists into your extended hours rota, we ensure patients receive timely, safe, and effective medication-related services outside traditional working hours.
This service supports continuity, improves access, and reduces pressure on day-time appointments—without compromising on quality.
Key Features of Our Extended Access Services
Out-of-Hours Clinical Pharmacist Support: Skilled pharmacists available to provide medication reviews, repeat prescription management, minor ailment consultations, and support for long-term condition patients.
Seamless Integration with Practice Systems: Pharmacists work within your existing systems (EMIS, SystmOne, etc.) to ensure patient data remains up-to-date and continuity of care is preserved.
Flexible Scheduling Options: Evening, weekend, and bank holiday coverage available to suit your extended access plan.
Collaboration with Wider Care Teams: Our pharmacists work alongside GPs, nurses, and other clinicians to deliver a multidisciplinary approach to out-of-hours care.
Benefits to Healthcare Providers
Meet NHS Access Targets: Fulfil contractual obligations for extended hours while maintaining service quality.
Reduce Core Hour Pressures: By shifting appropriate clinical work to extended hours, practices reduce congestion during the day.
Enhance Patient Satisfaction: Patients benefit from more appointment options, greater flexibility, and quicker access to care.
Cost-Efficient Service Delivery: Leverage the expertise of pharmacists to deliver high-quality care in a more cost-effective way.
Why Our Extended Access Services Stand Out
Our approach is more than just filling shifts—we strategically deploy skilled pharmacists who are trained to operate independently and deliver measurable outcomes during extended hours. We work with you to design a schedule that aligns with patient needs and practice goals, ensuring every hour counts.
Whether you need full rota support or supplementary coverage, our team is ready to step in and deliver.
