Out of Hours Arrangements

Out of hours there is always a doctor on call. The telephone number can be obtained by ringing the surgery (01295 256261) for a recorded message. Alternatively, your call may be automatically diverted to a message-taking service or a mobile phone.

This practice is a member of an out-of-hours consortium. This means that visits requested between 6.30pm and 8.00am may be carried out by a doctor from another practice.

Please only request an out-of-hours visit for an urgent problem. If the matter can be dealt with on the telephone please state this.

If you require immediate emergency medical attention, please dial 999 for the ambulance.

NHS Direct

If you are unsure about your needs during the out of hours period you may wish first of all to contact NHS Direct on 0845 4647. They will offer you advice from a trained nurse.
