Walk-in GP clinics may deliver one million extra appointments.

BBC reporting provides indicative figures for proposed Scottish walk-in GP clinics: Edinburgh's centre hopes to see about 21,360 appointments a year and NHS Grampian's bid plans about 90,720 slots across three sites, while officials say exact capacities will be confirmed when locations are finalised.

Scottish health authorities have published indicative details about several proposed walk-in GP clinics as part of a wider commitment to increase appointment capacity. The BBC obtained some of those figures and local bid documents under freedom of information rules. Officials say exact clinic locations and full capacity details will be released as sites are confirmed. The reporting highlights a mix of local proposals and planned staffing models. Key details: - The BBC has indicative figures for a number of proposed walk-in clinics across Scotland. - NHS Lothian says the Edinburgh walk-in centre would include one GP, one advanced practice nurse, one physiotherapist, two receptionists and one link worker, and it hopes to see up to 60 patients a day (about 21,360 a year, excluding public holidays). - NHS Grampian's bid documents, released to the BBC, plan for 90,720 patient slots a year across three proposed sites in Aberdeen, Elgin and Peterhead, and note 20-minute appointment slots with staffing that would include eight GPs and three triage nurses. - NHS Fife has submitted plans for a Buckhaven clinic that projects an annual appointment capacity of 64,240, but that proposal has not yet been agreed. - A clinic on Benbecula, a community of about 1,286 residents, is reported to be due to open next month and will operate seven days a week from 09:00 to 17:30. Summary: These indicative figures show substantial planned capacity at a range of sites, but officials say full details and exact capacities will be published when locations are confirmed. It is not yet known whether the walk-in clinics will meet the Scottish government's one million extra appointments commitment. Undetermined at this time.
