The GP Extended Access Service is now offering appointments with a GP or Nurse for any patient registered within the Wigan Borough out of normal surgery hours. These surgeries run from 6.30 pm – 8.00 pm on weekdays and from 10.00 am – 4.00 pm on weekends and bank holidays. To make an appointment call 01942 482848.

Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.
