About Local Care Direct
Local Care Direct is a social enterprise founded in 2004 by local GPs in West Yorkshire that provides urgent medical and dental services across Yorkshire and the Humber. The clinic ensures that patients receive appropriate advice, care, and support in a timely manner and as close to home as possible. Services are delivered both in centralized health centers, such as the King Street Health Centre, and through outreach, including mobile visits using hybrid vehicles. With a team of 682 employed staff and sessional clinicians working 24/7, the service covers a high volume of care cases and has supported over 726,000 patient cases in the last year. Regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the clinic maintains high standards across its locations, with inspections conducted as recently as January 2019 for its health centre and March 2021 for other services. Although specific opening hours and parking details are not provided, the clinic is noted for its strong community focus and values of kindness, respect, fairness, consistency, honesty, and integrity. This combination of accessible, community-oriented care alongside rigorous regulatory oversight distinguishes Local Care Direct from other providers.
