Opening times

Each Saturday an Extended Access Surgery is open for all patients registered with a surgery in Ashton.  These are pre-booked appointments only, bookable through your own surgery.

On the third Thursday in every month we close at 12 noon for training.

If you need medical help now, use NHS 111 online or Call 111.

NHS 111 online is for people aged 5 and over. Call 111 if you need help for a child under 5.

Call 999 in a medical or mental health emergency. This is when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk.

A new Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) opens on 29 April 2019 at the Tameside Hospital site (next to A&E).

The new centre – our new broader and better offer – replaces the existing Walk in Centre (WIC) at Ashton Primary Care Centre (which closes the day before). 

Initially people with an urgent need will be able seek support at the Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) by walking in between 9am to 9pm, 7 days a week.

Later in the year as well as the ability to walk in, anyone registered with a GP practice in Tameside & Glossop will have access to a range of bookable appointments through their GP or NHS111.  This will complement the range of appointments currently available in the evenings and at weekends through the Primary Care Access Service (PCAS).
