Evening and weekend GP appointments now available in Kirklees

People living in the Kirklees area are now able to visit a GP after work and on weekends under a new scheme that was developed following extensive engagement with local patients.

Having additional appointments available during the week and at weekends will be more convenient for many patients, allowing them to visit a GP at a time that fits better with their work and other commitments. It should also reduce pressure on both general practice and hospital emergency departments. The new scheme is being operated by local GP federations working together with out-of-hours provider Local Care Direct.

Patients in the Greater Huddersfield CCG area can also access physiotherapy appointments on evenings and weekends as part of the scheme.
