GP Out of Hours moving site
From Monday 18 May 2026, Upton Lea Integrated Hub, a £5.3m refurbished site on the Countess of Chester Health Park, will become the new home for GP Out of Hours support.
It will also be the new home for a number of other services provided by Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust from the end of May including:
- All-age 24/7 Mental Health Crisis Line
- Adult and Children and Young People Mental Health Crisis teams
- West Cheshire Community Mental Health and Home Treatment teams
- Cardiac Rehabilitation service
- Out of Hours Community Nursing
For GP Out of Hours support, patients should continue to seek urgent support from NHS 111. Calls to 111 are free, as long as the mobile phone is in credit. NHS 111 can also be accessed online. The service may be able to resolve the problem, or they may pass a call to the GP Out of Hours Service.
The new address for the location will be:
Upton Lea Integrated Hub
Countess of Chester Health Park
Liverpool Road, Chester
CH2 1BQ
A Countess of Chester Health Park map is available here. The What3Words location for the Upton Lea Integrated Hub entrance is TBC.
Both a map and What3 Words location are to follow on Monday 18th.
Whilst patient parking is available on site, this can be in high demand at peak times. Please allow additional travel time or alternatively make best use of drop off zones and public transport where possible.
