Further Information
Extended Hour Brochure
NHS 111 (non-emergency number)
If you phone the surgery outside of normal opening hours you will be asked to hang up and dial 111. Calls are taken by trained staff that will make referrals as needed to the out-of-hours provider or direct you to the most appropriate service.
This service is for people:
-
Who don’t know who to call for medical help or who don't have a GP
-
Who need health information or reassurance about what they should do next
-
Who have a minor injury (including fractures and burns)
-
Who think they need A&E or another NHS urgent care service, but it is not a life-threatening 999 emergency
We use an out-of-hours (OOH) provider called Practice Plus to provide urgent medical care to all of our patients. They can organise an appointment for you at their primary care centre or visit you at home if you are housebound and urgent care is needed. They are unable to deal with routine requests such as prescriptions or booking surgery appointments.
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.
Urgent Care Centres
For those who require Urgent attention (not routine) can attend urgent care centres. Services are available 24/7.
In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
