If you require emergency GP attention outside of normal surgery hours you need to ring NHS111 on 111. Your call will be answered and assessed by appropriately trained staff who will then be able to decide what action to take; this could be:

• Telephone advice from a doctor
• Seeing a doctor at a Primary Care Centre or a home visit
• Attendance at an Urgent Treatment Centre
• Despatching an ambulance

Please note that out of hours services are organised by City Healthcare Partnership. 

In cases of minor accidents, eg cuts, sprained ankles, remember that there is a Minor Injuries Unit at the Alfred Bean Hospital. You need to ring NHS111 on 111 to access this service as it is appointment based.  Alternatively there are Urgent Treatment Centres in Beverley and Bridlington which are open 07:00 – 23:00 - you do not need to book an appointment for the Urgent Treatment Centres.

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. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.  

111 online is a fast and convenient alternative to the 111 phone service and provides an option for people who want to access 111 digitally. 

Your needs will be assessed and you will be given advice about whether you need:

• Treat yourself at home
• Go to a Primary Care Centre

If you need face to face medical attention you may be asked to attend a Primary Care Centre.
