GP Extended Access
From 30 June 2022, this website will not be updated
For the latest local health and care information, visit the new websites for Integrated Care Board hertsandwestessex.icb.nhs.uk or the Integrated Care System hertsandwestessexics.org.uk
From 1 July 2022, Clinical Commissioning Groups will be cease to exist. Commissioning functions and information that has been previously held by East and North Hertfordshire CCG is transferring to the new NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (HWEICB) on 1 July 2022.
HWEICB will become the new data controller. Any questions about the use of data (including patient data) by the new ICB should be directed to hertsvalleysccg.hwecorporategovernance@nhs.net
There are no changes to how local residents access NHS frontline services in Hertfordshire and West Essex as part of these changes.
GP Extended Access

When are these appointments available?
Can I get a pre-booked or on the day appointment on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day or another bank holiday?
Yes – These days are all bank holidays, so therefore covered by the Extended Access service. See below the number you will need to ring to make an appointment on these days, according to which surgery you are registered with.
For patients at Buntingford practice and Puckeridge practice, please contact your practice to make an appointment, currently there is no facility to make an appointment on the day, on the weekend or on a bank holiday.
