Out of Hours Services
When the Surgery is closed, there are a number of ways to access a GP assessment
NHS 111
Calls to 111 are free from land lines and mobile phones.
The NHS 111 service has been designed to make it easier for you to access your local NHS healthcare services in England.
The NHS 111 service is staffed by a team of fully trained advisers, supported by experienced nurses and paramedics.
They will ask you questions to assess your symptoms, then give you the healthcare advice you need or direct you to the local service that can help you best.
That could be A&E, an out of hours doctor, an urgent care centre or a walk in centre, a community nurse, an emergency dentist or a late-opening pharmacy.
IF YOU THINK YOUR CONDITION IS LIFE THREATENING YOU MUST CALL 999

GP COLLABORATIVE & OUT OF HOURS SERVICE
The GP Collaborative Service is available for patients requiring assessment by a GP during evenings, weekends and Bank Holidays.
It is possible to arrange an appointment at the GP Centre based at the Northern General Hospital or at one of the Sheffield GP hubs.
Home visits are also available if appropriate.
Please contact the NHS 111 service to request an assessment.
Appointments are available at one of the GP access centres across Sheffield between 6pm to 10pm weekdays and 10am to 6pm Saturdays and 10am to 2pm on Sundays.
These centres are open for extended hours in the evening and weekends for urgent, booked appointments. This will allow you to see a GP locally for urgent care instead of visiting A&E which may not be appropriate.
To access this service:
Call 111 when your practice is closed and you will be assessed for the best service for you to use, you could be sent to a GP surgery if that is the best place for you to be treated.
The appointments can be with a GP, a Nurse Practitioner, a Nurse, a Health Care Assistant or Physiotherapist.
Patients can be seen by a practice nurse on weekends for blood tests, ear syringing, asthma reviews, wound checks and dressings.
