When We Are Closed
If you need to contact a doctor in an emergency outside of normal surgery opening times, please contact the out of hours service on 111.
Please note, during these times, the duty doctor is unlikely to be a member of the practice.
NHS Direct
Alternatively you can access urgent assistance by calling NHS Direct on 0845 4647. A triage nurse will assess your situation and take appropriate action. This could simply be by offering advice or where necessary by making arrangements for you to be seen by a doctor.
Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.
In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
