When We Are Closed

If you require urgent medical advice outside normal surgery opening hours please contact call 111.

The person who answers your call will direct you to the services that can help you best.

Calls to 111 are free from both landlines and mobile phones.

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.
