We provide a range of NHS urgent and routine healthcare services on weekday evenings and at weekends through four ‘satellite hubs’ across Sheffield and will soon be adding another two hub sites. All sites are existing GP surgeries and are staffed by Sheffield GPs and other practice staff. The services available include: urgent appointments with a GP, and practice nurse appointments for the following routine services: blood pressure checks, removal of stitches, dressing changes (patients must bring their new dressings with them to the appointment), asthma reviews/checks, ear syringing, smears, blood tests. We also offer appointments with a physiotherapist for assessment of Musculoskeletal pain.

Making a complaint about a service received at the satellite hubs
Primary Care Sheffield takes all complaints very seriously. We aim to ensure that when you visit the Satellite Hubs, you are pleased with your experience of the service you receive. If you make a complaint, you will be dealt with courteously and promptly so that the matter is resolved as quickly as possible and following national guidelines.
The person responsible for dealing with any complaint about the service we provide at a Satellite Hub is the Satellite Hub Manager. You can make a complaint verbally, (either in person or by telephone) or in writing. If you make a complaint on the telephone or at the reception desk, staff will listen to your complaint and refer it to the Satellite Hub Manager so that they can take further details. You can also make a complaint in writing, this should be addressed to the Satellite Hub Manager. Written complaints will be passed directly to the Satellite Hub Manager. We observe strict rules of confidentiality, which mean that we will need your written authorisation for someone complaining on your behalf.
When will I receive a response to my complaint?
The Satellite Hub Manager will acknowledge the complaint within two working days and will aim to investigate it fully within ten working days after this. During this time you may be contacted by telephone or invited to meet with the Satellite Hub Manager so that they can gather more details from you. If we are unable to investigate your complaint within the timescale we will contact you in writing, giving reasons for the delay and the likely timescale for when the investigation will be completed. Immediately after completing our investigation, we will contact you to confirm the decision about the complaint. Comprehensive records are kept of any complaint received.
