Enhanced Access

Ely Primary Care Network is a group of six of the eight GP Practices in East Cambridgeshire. Together we look after 77,500 patients. The six Practices are:

  • Burwell Surgery (Burwell)
  • Haddenham Surgery (Haddenham)
  • Staploe Medical Centre (Soham)
  • Cathedral Medical Centre (Ely)
  • St George’s Medical Centre (Littleport)
  • St Mary’s Surgery (Ely)
The NHS has asked all Primary Care Networks (PCNs) across England to offer patients additional opening hours. This is a national programme called “Enhanced Access” and starts on 1st October 2022.

We want to give our patients the very best GP services we can, and we believe offering these additional hours ourselves – using the doctors and nurses you already know from your local surgeries – is the best way to do this.

So, from 1st October 2022, the six Practices of Ely Primary Care Network will work together to – between them – offer 70 more hours of appointments each week, over and above our usual surgery opening hours. These additional appointments will be available to all patients registered at any of our six surgeries.

The additional appointments will be during the following times:

Monday  between 6:30pm and 8pm
Tuesday  between 6:30pm and 8pm
Wednesday  between 6:30pm and 8pm
Thursday  between 6:30pm and 8pm
Friday  between 6:30pm and 8pm
Saturday  between 9am and 5pm
Sunday  No additional appointments

We would really like to hear your feedback about our plan and/or your preferred day/time for appointments. You can do this anonymously online at – https://elypcn.gpweb.org.uk/gp-practice-appointments-survey
