Access Hubs
Merton Council is using two Access Hubs to provide same-day urgent primary care appointments as part of its winter resilience strategy.
Merton Council has established two new Access Hubs, which provide additional same-day urgent primary care capacity, as part of its winter resilience strategy for 2026. These hubs offer same-day primary care appointments and operate seven days a week, aiming to reduce unnecessary A&E attendances.
The plans for these Access Hubs were approved by the Merton Health and Wellbeing Board in October 2020. The board focused on strengthening urgent and emergency care services for the upcoming winter season at that time.
