Slaithwaite Health Centre opened in 1981 and offers a comprehensive range of health care services to local residents with good access and facilities for the disabled.

We are confident that our website will provide clear and concise help and give our patients the information they require in an easy and convenient format. It has been designed with the patient’s needs at the forefront of everything, from checking surgery times to letting us know what you think of us.

If you need medical advice or treatment, please ring 01484 846674 or, for non-urgent advice or treatment, visit our website and send us your query-our opening hours are stated below.

Online consultation requests for non-urgent help can be made at any time. They will be responded to as soon as possible, usually within two working days.

For urgent issues or out of hours, you can also call the NHS on 111 or go online to seek NHS advice 111.nhs.uk

Appointments are being delivered face-to-face, by telephone, or using video calls and messaging to your mobile or computer-the practice team will assess what is most appropriate for you. If you have a preference about how to access care you can discuss it with your practice.

Slaithwaite Health Centre is proud to be a Safe Surgery.

In recognition of the barriers to healthcare access faced by people in vulnerable circumstances, including migrants, we commit to protecting the human right to health.

We will take steps to ensure that everyone in our community may fulfill their entitlement to quality healthcare.

In partnership with Doctors of the World UK, we will ensure that our practice offers a welcoming space for everyone who seeks to use our services.

Mindful of our duties to uphold equality and human rights law, we will implement patient registration policies which do not discriminate based on race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status or any other characteristic.

Supported by the Safe Surgeries initiative, we will ensure that our staff understand the specific barriers faced by migrants in vulnerable circumstances and that they are empowered to mitigate these barriers, where possible.

We will ensure that a lack of identification or proof of address, immigration status or language do not prevent patient registration.

As a member of the Safe Surgeries community, we will endeavour to support other Safe Surgeries and, where appropriate, provide feedback to Doctors of the World UK to support the development of the network.
