I would like to see the surgery open during the weekend, perhaps Saturday and Sunday morning?
Most places are open weekends now. The doctors could take it in turns to cover these duties. It would be good also for a doctor from the surgery to be on call at night.

Response from Mersea Island Medical Practice
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback. We conduct an annual assessment of the safety and suitability of this approach for our practice, however at present we believe that extending our working hours further would place our core service at risk with the potential to burn out our relatively small team, and risk providing a sub-standard service. We will continue to assess this regularly and look at a range of options for providing an extended hours offering to our patients in partnership with other practices locally.
