GP Care Wakefield and the Practice Annual Patient Survey

GP Care Wakefield is a new service that will start in the next few weeks and provide Extended Hours access to GP services across Wakefield. The service will run between 6 pm and 10 pm, Monday to Friday and 9 am to 3 pm on weekends and bank holiday. The main aim of the service is to provide better urgent care but there will also be some routine appointments when the service is fully staffed available between these hours that our reception staff will be able to book you into. The service is based at Pontefract Emergency Department and Trinity Medical Centre, Wakefield and will be staffed with GPs and nurses from Wakefield GP surgeries.

 To access the new service:

  • If you need medical help when the surgery is close dial the normal practice number - 01924 223909 and your call will be automatically transferred.
  • If you want to book a routine GP when the service is open then contact reception and ask them to book you a new appointment.

We are anticipating that the service will start on 19th September - watch out for details about when it starts.

Stroke Connect

Hundreds of NHS patients have received personal, specialised care thanks to a new service set up during the coronavirus pandemic. Stroke Connect, a partnership with the NHS and the Stroke Association provides stroke survivors with support and advice in the early days following hospital discharge, without having to leave the house. Experts have said that the new offer is providing a ‘lifeline’ during the pandemic and has helped more than 500 people to rebuild their lives after having a stroke since it launched last month. Patients are contacted for an initial call within a few days of discharge from hospital, from a trained ‘Stroke Association Connector’, an expert in supporting people after stroke. The connector provides reassurance, support with immediate concerns and links the stroke survivor to support they can access in the long-term as part of their recovery journey as well as signposting them to other sources of support. A further call is offered within the month to check in
