Ashton-Under-Lyne

If you require urgent but not life-threatening medical assistance that cannot wait until your GP practice re-opens, please call NHS111. Following a telephone assessment by NHS111 you will be provided with information about the appropriate service for your health problem.

Your call may be transferred to a gtd healthcare care co-ordinator or clinician, who may book an appointment for you at our treatment centre, which is based at Ashton Primary Care Centre. You may be offered an appointment between 6.30pm and 8am, seven days a week. Furthermore, our team may signpost you to the most appropriate care for your condition, including visiting your local pharmacy, walk-in centre, home visit, emergency department or an ambulance response.

If you have a life-threatening medical emergency, please dial 999.

Calls to the NHS 111 service are free from both landlines and mobiles (pay as you go phones need to have at least 1p of credit, although no charge is made).

Primary Care Access Service

This centre is one of the five neighbourhood hubs in Tameside and Glossop, which hosts the Primary Care Access Service. When GP practices are closed, patients who have had a clinical assessment via NHS111 and/or gtd healthcare and require urgent but non-life-threatening assistance may be offered an appointment at any one of the five neighbourhood hubs. Furthermore, Registered patients across Tameside and Glossop can pre-book routine evening and weekend appointments with a variety of clinicians by speaking to a receptionist at the practice.
