The urgent care centre at Redcar Primary Care Hospital is also extending its hours so it is open until midnight.Andy Hebron, clinical director for emergency care at South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: “Patients should continue to contact their GP, pharmacist or 111 for non-urgent health issues, but if they have a minor illness or injury that needs urgent attention, our centres are here to help.
“This alliance is great news for our patients as they can now access the same care and treatment at all four Teesside centres including our new Middlesbrough centre which is situated next to the James Cook emergency department.” It is hoped the service, which will be jointly run by an alliance of four health organisations - North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust, South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the North East Ambulance Service and Hartlepool and Stockton Health GP federation – will help reduce pressures on busy emergency departments.
