Saturday Morning & Wednesday Evening Appointments

If you're someone who's unable to come along for an appointment during the normal working hours of your GP surgery then there are special Saturday morning and weekday evening clinics.  

An appointment at one of these special hours clinics is made by contacting the patient services team at the Bicester practice where you're registered and will be subject to availability.

The special hours clinics are held as shown here: 

  • Saturday mornings between 8am and 1pm at Bicester Health Centre, Coker Close, OX26 6AR
  • Wednesday evenings between 6pm and 8pm at Bicester Health Centre, Coker Close, OX26 6AT

We understand that patients who wish to attend for a weekday evening or Saturday morning clinic may have some further questions, such as those shown below, and so we have provided answers for further assistance on both the clinics and the booking process.

Q. Will I be able to book a Saturday or evening appointment with my usual GP?

A. No, a rota of GPs will be available. If you need to see your usual or 'named' GP then please ensure you tell the patient services team at your surgery.

Q. How will I know where to go?

A. Your appointment will be confirmed in the normal way over the phone or by text when booking. Please ensure you've registered your mobile phone number with your practice.

Q. How do I cancel out of hours if I no longer need or can't make the booked appointment?

A. If you receive a text confirmation then you'll be able to cancel by following the instructions contained in the link within the text on your phone.

Q. How exactly do I book?

A. Please call your surgery in the normal way and ask for an appointment outside of normal working hours. The patient services team will be able to tell you if one is available and make the arrangements from that point. Saturday appointments MUST be pre-booked and are not available to be made on that day.
