Same-day access appointments

From 1 April 2026, GP practices in Leicestershire and Rutland will be able to book patients into new same-day access appointments, replacing existing extended hours appointments during evenings, weekends and bank holidays. The appointments will be delivered by four GP federations and aim to make it easier for local residents to access timely care for urgent but non‑life‑threatening health concerns.

More appointments will be available, offering longer consultation times and at consistent opening times across Leicestershire. NHS 111 and the emergency department will also be able to book patients into the available slots. Appointments will be available:

Monday–Friday: 6.30pm–8.30pm
Saturdays: 9am–5pm
Sundays and bank holidays: 10am–2pm

Appointments will be delivered at the following local sites:

Charnwood Surgery (Mountsorrel)
The Centre Surgery (Hinckley)
Castle Medical Group (Ashby) & Long Lane Surgery (Coalville, alternating weeks)
Melton Hospital (Melton Mowbray)
Feilding Palmer Hospital (Lutterworth) – weekends only
St Luke’s Treatment Centre (Market Harborough)
Warren Lane Surgery (Leicester Forest East)
Oadby Urgent Treatment Centre (Oadby)

The Oadby appointments are appointment‑only slots delivered at the same premises as the Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC), in addition to normal UTC services.

These are not walk‑in services. People will still be able to walk in at Loughborough, Oadby and Merlyn Vaz urgent treatment centres, and at the Market Harborough and Melton minor injury units.

These appointments replace those previously provided at urgent care centres in Coalville, Enderby, Hinckley, Market Harborough, Lutterworth and Melton, which will close on 31 March 2026.

Home Visits

It is better to be seen at the practice where we have appropriate examination and treatment facilities, and where you can be seen more quickly.

However, if you are too ill or frail to come in, please contact us before 10am to request a home visit.

You will be asked for brief details of your problem so that urgent cases may be seen first. It is common practice for GPs to call you to discuss your request for a home visit before confirming a visit will be booked. We may also refer you to the home visiting service run by DHU Health Care .The aim of this service is to reduce inappropriate admissions to hospital by providing a rapid response injury and illness home visiting service (HVS) for patients who, if they are not visited rapidly are at risk of admission or attendance to secondary care. The service will bring together the urgent visiting capability of local Out Of Hours (OOH), together with the current CRT and AVS teams into one integrated 24 hour urgent care home visiting service.

Since January 2015 all GP practices have been free to register new patients who live outside their practice area without any obligation on the practice to provide home visits for such patients when the patient is at home, away from, and unable to attend, their registered practice. If these patients require a home visit, these patients will access urgent primary medical care through NHS 111 but will generally be expected to contact NHS 111 or 111.nhs.uk, only following enquiry with their registered GP practice.

If as a result of that enquiry the GP thinks a face to face consultation is necessary, the patient will be advised to ring NHS 111.
