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 opening 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:

• 17:00 and 21:30hrs Monday to Friday
• 09.00: to 17.00hrs Saturday
• 09:00 to 13:00 Sunday
• 09:00 to 15:00 on 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.
