When We Are Closed

For nights, weekends and public holidays please telephone NHS 111. If you call the practice number you will be asked to put down the phone and ring 1-1-1.  Calls are free but mobile phone users on pay-as-you-go tarriffs should have at least 1p credit on their phones.

For further information about this service visit 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.

  Choose the right NHS Service for your needs

Remember to use the right NHS service for your needs - 999 and A&E are for serious emergencies and life threatening conditions only.

Call 111 if you need medical help fast but it's not a 999 emergency.
