Evening and weekend GP appointments

GP practices across Wakefield are now offering weekend and evening appointments.

The new GP Care Wakefield scheme enables patients across the district to have access to GP support after normal practice hours.

This enables patients to have access to medical advice and , if required, access to a Wakefield GP appointment, through their normal GP practice telephone number between:

• 18:00 and 22:00hrs Monday to Friday
• and from 09:00 to 15:00hrs Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays

Patients who use the service will be provided with medical advice from a dedicated nursing team, who can then refer them to a GP appointment that day, if required, at one of two sites across the district.

When We Are Closed

Out-of-hours cover is commissioned by NHS Wakefield District, from 18:30 each evening to 08:00 the following morning, at weekends and all bank holidays. 

Dial 111 for the out-of-hours service.
