Emergencies & Out of Hours

Emergency Appointments

Medical emergencies are always seen on the same day. Where it is not possible to see patients during the normal consulting hours, they are asked to attend at 6.00pm and the Duty Doctors make extra appointments available.

The Doctor can only deal with the urgent problem requiring immediate attention and the co-operation of all our patients is sought in not abusing the emergency appointment system.

Out of Hours Emergencies

If the Surgery is closed and you need urgent medical assistance or advice please telephone (01889) 881206 and your call will be automatically transferred to the emergency out of hours service.

If for any reason you are unable to make contact via the Surgery number then you can telephone the emergency service direct on 03001 303030.

NHS Direct, which operates 24 hours a day, offers advice via qualified Nurses – Telephone 0845 46 47.
