Extended Hours

Early morning and late evening appointments are bookable online via the Airmid and NHS Apps or SystmOnline.

Alternatively you can speak to Reception about these when booking an appointment via telephone.

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 22:00 Monday to Friday
  • 09:00 and 15:00 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.

Target Training for Surgery Staff

The practice will be closed on the following dates from 12 noon until the next working day as normal:

  • Wednesday 19th April 2023
  • Wednesday 17th May 2023
  • Wednesday 21st June 2023

  • Wednesday 15th November 2023
  • Wednesday 17th January 2024
  • Wednesday 21st February 2024
  • Wednesday 13th March 2024

If you require urgent advice or assistance that cannot wait, contact the surgery by telephone and you will be transferred directly to the service providing cover.

Alternatively, if it can wait, we will re-open at 08:00am the following day.

Dial 111 for the out-of-hours service.

Walk-in Centre

You can also attend the local walk-in centre at:

King Street Medical Centre, 47 King Street, Wakefield, WF1 2SY. 

Open from 10:00 – 22:00 hours – 7 days a week. No appointment necessary.

Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999.
