Essex Hub Extended Access

Local residents registered with a GP practice in mid Essex can now access an appointment with a GP, nurse or healthcare assistant in the evening and on Saturday and Sunday thanks to the opening of extended access health hubs.

The hubs are located in the following practices:

  • Blackwater Medical Centre, Maldon, CM9 5GP (Saturdays)
  • Elizabeth Courtauld Surgery, Halstead, C09 5EF (Saturdays)
  • North Chelmsford Health Centre, Chelmsford, CM2 5EF (7 days a week and bank holidays)
  • Mount Chambers Surgery, Braintree, CM7 1TE (Sundays only)

Appointments are available*:

  • Monday to Friday: 6.30pm to 8pm 
  • Saturday, Sunday and bank holidays: 8am to 2pm

*Opening hours may vary between the hubs

Extended Access hubs offer most NHS services that your own GP practice would, including NHS health checks and smear tests. 

To book an appointment, you should call your own GP practice during normal working hours. When your Gp surgery is closed appointments can be booked by calling 01245 398055 when service is open or NHS111 out of hours. To cancel an appointment out of hours please call 07384 579479.
