When We Are Closed

If you require urgent medical assistance which is not life threatening but which cannot wait until the surgery re-opens, please ring NHS111 by dialling 111. 

A trained adviser will assess your call and redirect you to the most appropriate local services. This may involve sending your details to the out-of-hours service or advising you to contact a local pharmacy or to contact the surgery when we re-open. 

Calls to the NHS111 service are free from both landlines and mobiles.

If you have a life threatening medical emergency please call 999.
