NHS takes the wellbeing of staff very seriously and they have asked all organisations to make improvements to this for staff. We have chosen this time as records show this has the least impact on you in terms of attending the surgery or calling the surgery.
Thank you.

Patients must ring the GP Practice, this will divert to the out of hours service:
0114 246 9030 - both surgeries
Initial demographic details are taken (entered onto computer system) and then a doctor phones the patient back to make a more detailed clinical assessment. At this stage the doctor will then decide with the patient the best course of action. One option is to arrange an appointment with a doctor at the GP Centre. At this stage patients are normally given an appointment time and instructions on how to get to the GP Centre.
Patients just turning up without going through the proper process and don't have an appointment will not be seen.
Non-urgent advice: PLI Staff Training

Immediate action required: Accident & Emergency Department
The A&E department is for people needing EMERGENCY medical attention or who have had an ACCIDENT.
An emergency is a situation where someone is experiencing a loss of consciousness, heavy bleeding, suspected broken bones, chest pain, breathing difficulties, an overdose, has swallowed something harmful, poisoning or has a deep wound.
BEFORE you go to A&E THINK!
- Is this an emergency/accident?
- Can I wait and see my GP?
- Could another GP help me?
- Would an alternative service be better and quicker?
