The 7 day service will improve access to primary care to meet rising population demands, with additional clinical capacity beyond core hours (as defined by the GMS Contract Regulations (2004). In addition, the service aims to achieve a positive impact upon patient flow in other service areas, including urgent and unplanned care settings, attributable to patients who cite they are 'unable to access' primary care appointments.

The service will commence on 1st October 2018.
