Extended Opening Hours

Dearne Valley Health Centre is part of the Mast Health and Care Partnership and therefore our patient's are able to book late evening appointments at neighbouring practices. These practices are Skelmanthorpe Family Doctors, Kirkburton Health Centre, Shepley Health Centre and Lepton & Kirkheaton practices. Alternatively patients can book late evening or weekend appointments at the Hub at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary. Please contact our reception team to book appointments at these  venues.

Staff Training and Development

The Practice closes on one afternoon per month for staff training and development. We are supported by NHS Kirklees and the Out of Hours service during this time. In an emergency please telephone the usual practice number and you will be directed appropriately.

Out of Hours / NHS 111

Out of hours care can be contacted on 01484 862793 from 6pm to 6.30pm Monday to Friday. Outside of the above hours you can access health care advice through the NHS website.

If you require urgent advice 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.
