Boothstown After Hours Without Guessing
If Boothstown Medical Centre is closed, the important question is not simply “where else can I go?” It is whether you need NHS 111, a pre-booked evening/weekend GP appointment, or emergency help.
The surgery’s normal published opening hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00am–6:30pm. It separately publishes Extended Hours through a Wigan GP HUB and directs patients to NHS 111 when medical help is needed while the practice is closed.
Which Boothstown Route Should You Use?
“The GP is closed” does not automatically mean the same service is right for every situation. Use this table before calling a number.
| Situation | Start here | Boothstown detail | Important distinction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Routine weekday GP request | Accurx / practice appointment route | Routine online appointment requests are published as available Monday–Friday 8am–6:30pm. | This is not an emergency service. |
| Urgent weekday appointment request | Online form before 1pm | The appointment page says use the urgent request form 8am–1pm; after 1pm ring 01942 367570. | Call 999 instead for a life-threatening emergency. |
| Urgent medical help when closed | NHS 111 | Use 111 online or call 111. | NHS 111 is different from booking a routine Extended Hours GP slot. |
| Child under 5 needs urgent help when closed | Call 111 | The practice says NHS 111 online is for people aged 5 and over. | For a child under 5, call 111 rather than using 111 online. |
| Evening GP/Nurse appointment | Wigan HUB | Published Extended Hours: 6:30pm–8:00pm weekdays. | Call 01942 482848 to book/confirm. |
| Weekend GP/Nurse appointment | Wigan HUB | Appointment page publishes 10am–4pm Saturday and Sunday. | The separate contact page describes the HUB as open 8am–4pm; confirm your actual slot. |
| Life-threatening emergency | 999 | Do not wait for Boothstown or the HUB. | Emergency care is not a GP booking route. |
What Changes After Boothstown Medical Centre Closes?
Think of the day as separate access routes rather than one telephone line that simply stays open overnight.
Normal weekday Boothstown access begins at 8am.
Normal published weekday opening ends at 6:30pm.
Separately booked evening/weekend GP or nurse access may be available through the Wigan HUB.
NHS 111 can direct you to an appropriate urgent NHS service when needed.
NHS 111: Boothstown’s Published Out-of-Hours Route
Boothstown Medical Centre’s current website says that when the practice is closed and you need medical help now, use NHS 111 online or call 111.
NHS 111 online
The practice says 111 online is for people aged 5 and over.
Telephone 111
Call 111 if the online service is unsuitable or when the practice’s guidance tells you to use the telephone route.
Child under 5
Boothstown specifically tells parents/carers to call 111 for a child under 5 rather than use NHS 111 online.
Weekend GP Appointments: Use the Wigan HUB
Boothstown publishes Extended Hours appointments with GPs and nurses outside normal core surgery hours.
The appointment page lists the Extended Hours telephone number as 01942 482848.
Contact the Wigan Extended Hours HUB
For the published evening or weekend GP/Nurse service, use 01942 482848.
Ask for the available appointment time
The Boothstown appointments page currently publishes weekday Extended Hours between 6:30pm and 8:00pm and weekend appointment sessions between 10:00am and 4:00pm.
Confirm where you need to attend
Extended-access appointments operate through the wider Wigan service. Confirm the named location in your booking rather than assuming the appointment is automatically inside Boothstown Medical Centre.
Use NHS 111 instead when urgent help is needed
A routine or pre-booked weekend GP slot is different from urgent out-of-hours assistance. Boothstown directs urgent out-of-hours needs to NHS 111.
Why You May See Two Different Weekend Times
Boothstown’s current official pages do not use exactly the same wording for weekend Extended Access.
Contact page
The practice’s contact page says the HUB is open 8am–4pm on weekends and bank holidays.
Appointment page
The appointments page says GP and nurse Extended Hours appointments are offered 10am–4pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
