Our teams of medical and nursing staff work hard to assess and treat all patients who attend. Children under one cannot be seen at Alnwick and Berwick.
The opening times vary between sites. Check below for the information for each site.
Outside of the opening hours, you should contact NHS 111. Trained advisors will refer you to the most appropriate service. NHS 111 is open 24/7. If you are seriously ill, call 999.
Your GP, the ambulance service or NHS 111 may direct you to one of our sites. You can also walk in.
If a healthcare professional has not sent you, we will assess you on arrival. We may re-direct you to a better service or location for your care.
All patients are assessed and triaged based on how serious their condition is. We see patients in order of their need, not arrival time.
We may re-direct you to a better service or location for your care.
