clockWHEN THE SURGERY IS CLOSED

Before calling the emergency Doctor think about how you feel i.e.

  • Can you wait until the surgery opens again in the morning?
  • Do you need advice or reassurance sooner?
  • Could a Dentist, Pharmacist, District Nurse or Midwife help with your problem?
  • Could the information in the back of this booklet be of help to you?

If you do need to contact the practice outside of surgery hours call the usual surgery number and you will hear instructions on how to contact the out of hours service.  If you prefer to contact the local Out Of Hours service direct, please ring:
