Evening and weekend appointments with Devon GPs now available

News Desk — Tue, 09 Oct 2018 06:31:54 +0000

Patients across Devon will be able to make routine GP appointments in evenings and at weekends from this month.

The aim of the GP improved access service is to make it easier for people to get an appointment at a time that suits them.

This new scheme is an extension of the usual GP practice services that patients across Devon will be used to – it is not a walk-in service. Patients will still need to contact their GP practices directly to make an appointment if they want to see a GP between the longer opening hours during weekday evenings, weekends and bank holidays.

Practices across Devon are working together to offer a service that meets the needs and preferences of their patient population, and GP practices will be promoting the local service to their patients.

When using the improved-hours service, patients might not be able to see their usual doctor. If that is the case, the clinician they see will be from another GP practice in their local area. They can also prescribe medication or refer the patient for further treatment if necessary.

If a patient sees a GP at a different practice, their own GP will receive electronic notes of the consultation to ensure the records are up to date.

Dr Nick Kennedy, chair of Devon’s Primary Care Committee, said: “Good access to GP services is so important to us and our patients and our aim is to make practices available for longer.

“We know people lead busy lives so we want to make it easier for patients to get an appointment and by making appointments available in the evenings and at weekends, we can ensure patients can see a doctor or a nurse at a time that is more convenient for them.

“If the need isn’t urgent and the patient would prefer to see their usual GP or practice nurse, they should book an appointment with their usual practice during normal opening hours.”

Patients are advised to contact their own GP practice for more information about the improved access service and how they can make appointments.

Just a few tickets remain for Baxter A Tribute To Steeno at Sandy Park

Marc Astley — Thu, 05 Apr 2018 18:11:18 +0000

A night out with the boss is something most of us dread but one ‘employee’ can’t wait for his and he’s inviting you to join him!

For Exeter Chiefs director of rugby, Rob Baxter, is staging a special evening with one of his longest serving staff members – Gareth Steenson.

It is all part of the fly half’s testimonial year which has already boasted a whole host of sold-out events.

And just a few tickets are left for Baxter A Tribute To Steeno at Sandy Park.

The evening will focus on the promotion season and early years in the Premiership and the subsequent journey to becoming Champions.

Gareth said: “It is going to be an emotional evening reminiscing with Rob about what we have been through together but I am excited about the prospect of offering our fans a unique insight into what makes us tick.”

The event takes place on Thursday April 12 at 7.15pm and ends at 10.30pm. Tickets are £20 and although food is not included there will be a special Steeno souvenir for everyone to take home.

Irishman Steenson joined The Chiefs from Cornish Pirates in 2008, and would create endless memories for the club.

He kicked 24 points in the Championship final against Bristol in a record-breaking season for the Chiefs, where they were promoted to the Premiership for the first time.

Steenson made the record books once again, as he kicked the winning points in last May's Premiership final against Wasps' to secure Exe their first ever top-flight title.
