The GP Out of Hours Service is for patients residing in or visiting North Lincolnshire, who are experiencing a medical problem that cannot reasonably be expected to wait for the next opportunity to contact their own practice, in-hours.
Safecare Network moved the Out of Hours service to the Community in September 2021 to bring it closer to its patients. It is now working very smoothly from the Ashby Turn Primary Care Centre and has very good patient feedback. Ashby Turn Medical Centre offers a free patient car parking facility including disabled parking.
The GP Out of Hours service provides urgent medical care between 6.30pm-12am on weekdays and 8am-12am at weekends and bank holidays.
This service is appointment only. To access the service, please contact NHS 111. NHS 111 will assess you and give you the option to speak to a nurse, doctor or paramedic if appropriate. You’ll then be advised where you need to go for treatment. This could be an urgent treatment centre, an out-of-hours GP service, your local GP during normal hours, or the nearest A&E if necessary.
