Pennine GP Alliance have mobilised and manage the five Same Day Children’s Hubs running in Calderdale. We also manage the GPs who operate within them.
If a child aged 17 or under – or their parent/carer – contacts their GP practice with any of the new symptoms listed below, they are eligible for a direct appointment at the Same Day Children’s Hub for their Primary Care Network area.
Calderdale Royal Hospital’s Emergency Department are also able to refer into the hubs.
Symptoms:
- Cough, sore throat, earache
- Mild rash (with no fever and no meningitis symptoms), or eczema flare.
- Mild/moderate abdominal pain, vomiting or diarrhoea; not requiring urgent assessment
- Asthma exacerbation (mild)
- Urine infections
- Other general unwellness
*In some instances, your child may be offered an appointment outside of your primary care network area
Parents and carers can be reassured that these hubs are designed to provide safe, same-day care for children who need urgent attention but don’t require hospital treatment. Appointments will be made through GP practices, ensuring children are seen promptly by experienced clinicians in a calm, supportive environment.
Opening Times:
The Same Day Children’s Hubs for winter 2026-27 are now open to patients and end of May 2027.
