Out-of-Hours in Manchester
Go to Doc | accessed on 28 July 2009
From the 1st April 2009, GO To DOC have been commissioned by NHS Manchester to provide out of hours urgent primary care services for North, South and Central Manchester.
The Manchester service will be provided in partnership with Harmoni, a national out of hours organisation based in Hertfordshire that delivers care across the South East, South West and the Midlands. Across NHS Manchester the operational and clinical services will be provided by GO To DOC, with Harmoni providing substantial expertise in ensuring resilience and offering innovation from elsewhere in the country.
The service will be delivered by local staff based at a call centre in Denton, at three primary care treatment centres (North Manchester General Hospital, Manchester Royal Infirmary and Wythenshawe Forum) and by visiting doctors for patients who are unable to travel.
If you need immediate and necessary medical advice or attention and cannot wait until your GP surgery is open, you can ring your own GP’s surgery telephone number and you will then be directed to GO To DOC. Alternatively you can contact GO To DOC directly on 0161 336 3252.
