Outside of practice hours, commissioners (CCGs) commission a range of services for patients, including OOH providers (offering a range of GP and nurse appointments). Patients can also visit urgent care centres, walk-in centres and minor injuries units, or call NHS 111 which is the 24/7 NHS non-emergency number designed to direct callers urgently seeking medical help or advice to the appropriate medical care. Some practices in England are already working together in federations or networks to provide extended hours and out of hours services outside contracted house (8:00-6:30 Mon-Fri) .
