Out of Hours

If you need advice outside of the practice opening hours our self-help page or your local pharmacist may be able to help in the first instance.

If you feel you need to speak to a Doctor please ring 111 to access the Out of Hours service and to enable you to be seen more quickly in an out of hours centre.

A&E departments assess and treat patients with serious injuries or illnesses. Generally, you should visit A&E or call 999 for life-threatening emergencies, such as:

• loss of consciousness
• acute confused state and fits that are not stopping persistent,
• severe chest pain
• breathing difficulties
• severe bleeding that cannot be stopped

If an Ambulance is needed, call 999, the emergency phone number in the UK.
