Urgent and Emergency Care

If you are in need of emergency care, support is available at Grantham and District Hospital via the Accident and Emergency Department and a GP out of hours service.

Between the hours of 8am to 6.30pm every day of the year, the Accident and Emergency Department is open to provide emergency care.

Please ask yourself if it is a genuine accident or emergency before attending.

From 6.30pm to 10pm, you can walk in to the GP out of hours service, which is located next to A&E, without an appointment.

The walk-in service will be able to treat:

• sprains and strains
• suspected broken limbs
• bites and stings
• eye problems
• feverish illness in adults and children
• minor scalds and burns
• provide emergency contraception.

From 6.30pm and overnight to 8am, the GP out of hours service provides bookable appointments which can be accessed through NHS111.

The GP out of hours service is provided by Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust.
