Introducing the Overflow HUB at Nightingales PCN
From December 2024, Nightingales Primary Care Network (PCN) is introducing the Overflow HUB — a new service designed to enhance patient care across our practices. This collaborative approach allows our local GP practices to work together, increasing appointment availability and ensuring that all registered patients within Nightingales PCN can access care when they need it most.
What This Means for You
With the Overflow HUB in place, you may be offered a same-day appointment at another practice within Nightingales PCN, helping to reduce waiting times and enabling you to be seen more quickly. Depending on your needs, you may also be offered a telephone consultation with a GP from a different practice within the network.
The Overflow HUB focuses on managing routine, same-day health concerns, which helps free up appointments at your usual practice for patients with more complex or ongoing health needs. This approach allows us to provide the right care, in the right place, at the right time — supporting all patients across Nightingales PCN.
We are proud to launch the Overflow HUB to ensure timely, efficient access to care, and to continue delivering high-quality services for all our patients.
Please note: If you are offered an appointment through the Overflow HUB, you will be seen at Winyates Health Centre.
