As of 1st October 2022, the extended hours and enhanced access services, which up until now have been delivered separately, will combine into one Enhanced Access Service, commissioned by our PCN, Bracken Health and available to all patients within The Forest Health Group.

For the time being, the service will continue to be subcontracted to the current provider, Berkshire Primary Care (BPC), and from the existing site, Boundary House Surgery, Bracknell, within the hours of 6.30pm to 8pm Monday to Friday and 0900 to 1700 on Saturdays.

We ask our patients to please take note that the new enhanced access service will not be running on Sunday, which is a change to the current provision. However, we will be working in partnership with BPC to develop additional clinics in line with national NHS campaigns and our population health insights, such as cancer screening, health checks and women’s menopause support clinics. Full details and prior notice of these clinics will be given to patients.

The Enhanced Access Service offers our patients the same primary care services, such as GP face to face and telephone consultations, nurse, phlebotomy and healthcare assistant appointments, to meet our patient’s healthcare needs. Please ask our patient services staff when you call the practice for an appointment about the Enhanced Access Service should an appointment out of core practice hours (0800 to 1830), be more convenient to you.
