When We Are Closed

NHS 111

For urgent appointments outside our normal surgery hours, please call the out-of-hours GP service, 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.
