Access to GP Appointments is Improving
GP practices in Bassetlaw are normally open from 8.00am to 6.30pm, Monday to Friday
Some practices already open earlier or later than that on some days and may also provide services on a Saturday. They will continue to offer this to their patients.
From October 1st 2018 all patients in Bassetlaw will have access to some extra GP & Nurse appointments, during the evenings (6.30pm – 8pm) and at weekends.
Bassetlaw GP practices are working in partnership to deliver some of these evening and weekend appointments so you may be offered an appointment at a different surgery to your normal one.
The new extended hours service is available across 3 locations:
- Monday – Kingfisher Family Practice
- Tuesday – Tuxford Medical Centre
- Wednesday – Sunday Riverside Health Centre
Appointments can be booked in the normal way through reception by booking through your own registered GP Practice. Please be aware that this service is for routine pre-bookable appointments only.
Clinicians working in the service will have full access to the patient’s electronic primary care record as long as you give us consent at the time of booking. Unfortunately if consent is not given then we will be unable to give you an appointment.
For more information or to book an appointment please give the surgery a call.
Accessing GP Services when your Surgery is closed.
While your practice is closed extra GP and Nurse Practitioner appointments are available at the Out of Hours Centre located at Bassetlaw Hospital. This is accessed via calling 111.
There are also pharmacies open every day over the festive period who can effectively help with any minor ailments.

Save time – do it online!
GP online services gives patients the option to book appointments, request repeat prescriptions and view their GP records, using their computer, tablet or smartphone rather than having to phone or visit their practice.
Online services complement the existing ways patients can access appointments, prescriptions and their records. Our practices already have the facility to offer online access to records and transactional services for our patients.
If you are not already registered for GP online services please let a member of the practice team know you would like to use this service.
