Enhanced Access – Taurus Healthcare
Patients in the Herefordshire area are being offered greater access to local GPs, Nurses and Health Care Assistants.
Taurus Healthcare are managing three primary care hubs (in Hereford, Leominster and Ross on Wye) that offer services to patients across the county weekday evenings and 8am to 8pm on weekends and Bank Holidays. Routine appointments can be pre-booked to see a Health Care Assistant, our Nurse Practitioner or a GP outside of our normal contracted hours.
Taurus Healthcare’s Enhanced Access Service (operating on behalf of Herefordshire General Practice) offers evening and weekend appointments at a number of hubs across Herefordshire when GP surgeries are closed.
To access the service, you must be registered with a Herefordshire GP Practice. To book an appointment at any of the hubs, simply call our Surgery during their normal opening hours and request a Taurus Enhanced Access appointment.
If we are closed, call NHS 111.
Please note that the Enhanced Access Service is not a walk-in service. You must have a booked appointment to see a GP at one of our hubs.
