Starting Oct. 1, 2025, NHS GP surgeries in England expand hours and adopt digital tools to improve access and reduce delays.
Starting October 1, 2025, NHS GP surgeries in England will implement nationwide changes to improve access and efficiency, including extended hours, digital appointment systems, virtual consultations, and expanded roles for nurses and healthcare assistants.
Patients will be able to access care between 8 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, through various means, with appointments based on clinical need and responses within one working day.
The reforms, mandated by NHS England, aim to reduce delays and replace outdated triage systems, offering same-day or next-day appointments and directing patients to alternative services when appropriate.
While the changes are intended to ease pressure on GP services, challenges like staff shortages and digital access may impact rollout.
Patients are urged to check local practice websites for details.
