Late Appointments

Rainford Health Centre offers late GP appointments on a Monday and Wednesday evening, and Practice Nurse appointments on a Wednesday.

Please note these are for routine pre-booked appointments only. No urgent cases will be seen. The reception area and the telephone lines will close at 18:30.

Occasionally, due to staff holidays, we may need to change these sessions. Patients will be notified of this in advance via the practice website.

Enhanced Access Appointments

Additional access to primary care services on weekday evenings and a Saturday, are now available. To book an appointment please telephone the surgery on the main surgery number 01744 882855 and speak to our reception staff.

There are a range of clinicians and services on offer providing both faces to face and telephone appointments.

Who can I see?

You will be seen by a local clinician, who will not necessarily be from your GP practice. ANP, Nurses, Pharmacists and Podiatrists will be available
