Glossopdale residents suffering from minor ailments can now also access the out-of-hours service provided at a Walk-In Centre in New Mills. 

The move follows the recent changes to health service boundaries which mean there are now even more options for care and treatment. 

Walk-in Centres deal with bumps, bruises, burns, sprains, or insect bites - and a range of minor illnesses such as coughs, asthma, rashes, and other infections. 

Based at New Mills Health Centre, the New Mills Walk-In Centre is open from 6pm until 10.30pm Monday to Friday and from 9am to 10.30pm on weekends and Bank Holidays.   

Appointments can be booked through the 111.nhs.uk or 111 telephone service, or you can attend as a walk-in patient. 

Caroline Hannan, Deputy Head of Clinical Services at DHU Healthcare, said: “The out-of-hours service is an important resource for people in this area, as we are able to provide a wide range of services and advice, face to face from our DHU practitioners. 

“We don’t have x-ray facilities and we can’t treat major injuries, but there is a vast array of service we can offer you.” 

Patients are treated based on the urgency of their need, so during busy times you may need to wait to be seen. 

There are normally two Practitioners on duty. This could be a nurse, paramedic or pharmacy practitioner. They are supported by a Healthcare Assistant who will also provide support and advice.
