Extended Access - Primary Care Hub Sites: 

As part of our commitment to accessibility and convenience, Boston PCN has established 2 primary care hub sites at strategic locations within our community.

These hubs are designed to provide extended access to healthcare services, ensuring that patients receive timely and coordinated care.

These hubs are jointly managed by 2 of the PCN network practices, Greyfriars Surgery and Parkside Medical Centre. 

These hubs are currently located at: 

  • Swineshead Medical Group – Out of Town Location / Tuesday &Thursday 6pm – 9pm and Saturday’s 9am – 4pm 
  • Parkside Medical Centre – In Town Location / Monday & Friday 6pm – 9pm and Saturdays 9am – 6pm  

This service offers appointments outside of regular practice hours to try and accommodate patient demand. 

The service brings together a range of healthcare professionals, including GP and ANP’s to deliver comprehensive care. 

This provides a seamless experience for patients by coordinating care across different services and specialties. Thus, ensuring that care is tailored to the individual needs and preferences of each patient.
