When We Are Closed

If you require a doctor after 6.30pm during the week, on Saturdays and Sundays or Bank Holidays please ring 111. Your call will be answered by a trained call handler who will discuss your problem and direct you to the most suitable service. All NHS 111 call handlers are supported by trained nurses.

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. Please note chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.

Accident and Emergency

We have only limited facilities at the surgery and patients should attend A+E at the Calderdale Royal Hospital for minor injuries less than one day old.

We have no X-Ray facilities so suspected broken limbs and head injuries will usually be directed to A+E.

Minor illness, however, is best managed in the community. Please use 111, your pharmacist or us for advice.

Staff Training

The practice closes on a monthly basis for one afternoon for staff training. The surgery is usually closed, and the phone answered by the Out of Hours service, from 1pm to 5pm. During these times prescriptions can be collected from Ryburn Pharmacy.

If you need medical care during our closures for staff training please ring 111. If you need emergency medical care dial 999. Chest pain and shortness of breath are emergency situations.

The dates for our 2018-19 training programme are as follows:

Wednesday 14th November

Tuesday 11th December

We may need to change our training dates and will update this website should changes be necessary.
