When We Are Closed

When the surgery is closed, if you need an urgent home visit, telephone 01274 634989 where you will be passed to our out of hours service.

NHS 111

When the surgery is closed if you need to contact the NHS for urgent health care advice you can call 111. When you call 111 you will be assessed, given advice and directed straight away to the local service that can help you best - that could be an out-of-hours doctor, walk-in centre or urgent care centre, community nurse, emergency dentist or late opening chemist.

On dialling 111 a team of fully-trained advisors and experienced nurses will assess your condition and direct you to the local service that can help you best, when you need it.

The NHS 111 team will, where possible, book you an appointment or transfer you directly to the people you need to speak to. If they think you need an ambulance, one will be sent just as quickly as if you had dialled 999.  

Please do not ask to see a doctor out of hours unless you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

Call 999 for life-threatening emergencies. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.

Examples of some appropriate conditions dealt with in minor ailments Over the counter include:

We also operate a system of Telephone Consultations to make life more convenient.  If you feel a telephone call from a doctor would be appropriate please ask the Receptionist. You will be asked for details by the receptionist when the call is made, ie Name, Address, Telephone Number and symptoms.

Home visits are reserved for people who are too ill or frail to attend the surgery. If you require a home visit please attempt to contact the surgery before 12.00 pm to request this. You will be asked for details by the receptionist when the call is made, ie Name, Address, Telephone Number and symptoms.

A doctor or nurse may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse, or indeed arrange a hospital attendance.

Home visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.

Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the surgery.
