When We Are Closed

Outside of normal surgery hours, for urgent problems that cannot wait until the following day, please telephone the practice and you will either be transferred to the out of hours service or will be advised how to contact the appropriate service.  You are also able to ring NHS 111.

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.
