SURGERY OPENING HOURS

8.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m.
Appointments can be booked by telephone, in person, or online. To book appointments online you will need to register for Patient Access - see 'Online Services' for more information, or ask at Reception,
EMERGENCY OUT OF HOURS
In the first instance you should telephone the surgery and listen carefully to the recorded message. You will be given the appropriate telephone number to ring to connect you to the out-of-hours service.
Contact the 111 Service if you need help fast, but it is not a 999 emergency. This service can direct you to the GP out-of-hours service as well as provide information on doctors, community nurses, emergency dental care and late opening chemists. These calls are recorded. Calls from landlines and mobile phones are free—just like 999.
SPEAKING TO A DOCTOR OR NURSE
If you need to speak to a doctor or nurse during working hours, the receptionist will take a message for the doctor or nurse to ring you back.
