When We Are Closed
The service provided out of normal practice hours is for emergencies, which cannot wait until your surgery re-opens.
Emergencies
If a doctor is required in an emergency telephone 01274 584223.
For Out-Of-Hours Emergencies.
The practice is a member of West Yorkshire Urgent Care. If you are unwell and the situation cannot reasonably wait until the surgery opens, telephone 584223. In case of difficulty in contacting the out-of-hours service please ring NHS Direct, a 24-hour nurse led advice line, on 0845 46 47.
Some emergency calls can be dealt with by telephone advice. Otherwise, you may be offered an emergency appointment at Eccleshill Community Hospital. In some circumstances, the doctor may decide to visit the patient at home, if the person was too ill or frail to be moved. In a life-threatening emergency you should still dial 999 and ask for an ambulance.
Dental Emergencies
Out Of Hours dental services may be contacted on 08451203200.
NHS Direct
In the case of urgent need when the practice is closed you can call
NHS Direct (0845 4647) to speak to a triage nurse. Your needs will be assessed and advice offered or arrangements made for you to see a doctor.
Please do not ask to see a doctor out of hours unless you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.
Call 999 in an emergency. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
