At night or on a weekend please call the NHS 111 Service, 111 is the NHS non-emergency number, it’s fast, easy and free. Call 111 and speak to a highly trained adviser, supported by healthcare professionals. They will ask you a series of questions to assess your symptoms and  direct you to the best medical care for you, which may include booking you an appointment or arranging a visit from a GP outside our opening hours, although this will not be your usual GP.

In a genuine emergency (threat to life) you should call 999.

You can also visit the Walk-in Centre at Dewsbury & District Hospital opposite the main entrance for fast and convenient NHS treatment.
