There are now a large number of schemes in our locality to enable patients to access Primary Care Services outside of traditional GP hours of work (08:00 - 18:00 Monday to Friday)

​

Evening appointments at Street Lane Practice

 

There are now extra routine appointments available in the evening, making it easier for you to get an appointment at a time to suit you.

​

The practice offers:

​

• A virtual clinical pharmacist service.

Telephone appointments for patients who need to speak to a pharmacist regarding a medication issue but don’t need to come to the surgery. The pharmacists are able to prescribe and organise prescriptions electronically.

​

Musculoskeletal (MSK) service

Provides telephone and some face to face appointments for patients who need to speak to an advanced physiotherapist regarding muscle and joint problems. They will issue advice and where appropriate arrange a follow up.

For either of the above please speak to the reception team for further information on how to book one of these appointments.

All of the above are now offered 7 days a week including bank holidays.

​

• A virtual mental health support service (Healthy Minds)

 

This is a telephone appointment service for patients aged 18 and over who would like help with emotional wellbeing. It will provide a 20 minute telephone consultation with Healthy Minds Practitioners who will be able to offer support for patients experiencing low mood, stress or anxiety. They will offer support, explore and develop coping strategies and offer signposting and recommend other support services. Please speak to the Reception team for further information on how to book an appointment.

​

• Saturday and Sunday morning face to face appointments

 

There are now routine appointments available on Saturday and Sunday morning from 9am-12pm available through our extended access service at:

​

Rutland Lodge Medical Practice, Scott Hall Road, Leeds, LS7 3DR

​

This increased availability is an extension of the services offered by your practice and is provided by a range of local clinicians including GPs, nurses and health care assistants.

​

Please note, this is not a walk-in service – you still need to make an appointment. Appointments can be made either via your own GP practice or by calling the extended access team on 0113 221 3540 between 9am and 12pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Extended Access appointments are for routine general practice issues and not for urgent care. If your practice is closed and you are unwell please call NHS 111.

​

In due course it will also be possible to book on the day appointments to be seen at the Rutland Lodge weekend hub. When this service commences our telephone service will advise how to access it.
