When the practice is closed the Out of Hours Service is available but should be used only for urgent problems that cannot wait until the surgery is open again. The telephone number for this service is 111.

You can also get advice from NHS 111. Speak to a triage nurse and your needs will be assessed and advice offered or arrangements made for you to see a doctor.

Any Out of Hours Services should only be used if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

For emergencies such as chest pain and/or shortness of breath or severe blood loss call 999.

The surgery is closed on one Wednesday afternoon each month, along with all other practices in the town, for training purposes which involves both clinical and administrative staff.

The phone lines are closed from 12:30, and the doors close from 13:00.

The closure dates will be displayed on our notice board and on this website.

111 online is a fast and convenient alternative to the 111 phone service and provides an option for people who want to access 111 digitally. 

Your needs will be assessed and you will be given advice about whether you need:

• Treat yourself at home
• Go to a Primary Care Centre

If you need face to face medical attention you may be asked to attend a Primary Care Centre.
