West Yorkshire Urgent Care services
From April 2009, there is now one local number to get the right NHS services when you need them urgently.
Using the service
Urgent Care is for when you have minor accidents or unexpected health problems and need help within the next few hours.
One number – 0345 605 99 99
This is a new number for West Yorkshire.
You can call day or night. Lines are open 24-hours each day, including bank holidays. And if you call your doctor out of hours, your call will be automatically transferred to us.
The new number will help you get the right treatment when you need it. The number is 0345 605 99 99. This number does not replace any existing health service.
The right treatment
If you have called 0345 605 99 99 and we think you need emergency treatment, we can arrange that directly.
Urgent care services are not for life threatening problems or emergencies. If you have an emergency, always call 999.
