Out of Hours – When we are Closed

Out of Hours (When we are Closed)

Between 6:00pm and 08:30am during the week and Saturday, Sunday or bank holidays, emergency calls are dealt with by the 111 service. If you condition is not life threatening call 111 (freephone). Your call will be triaged and passed to the most appropriate person to deal with your problem.

If you are offered a home visit at night please ensure the doctor can find you.

If you dial the surgery number you will be given the option of having your call transferred to the out-of-hours service.

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 are an emergency.  

Urgent Care

You may need advice or treatment at any point through the day or night but do NOT need to go to the Accident & Emergency department. Using other services instead of A&E can often help you get the advice and/or treatment you need quicker.
