Out of Hours
If you require a doctor in an emergency when the surgery is closed, please be assured that there will always be one available 24 hours a day, including Christmas and all bank holidays. The practice is responsible for your care Monday to Friday 8.00 am to 6.30 pm.
Outside these times, (including Saturday, Sunday and all bank holidays), your local Primary Care Trust (PCT) takes on the responsibility for providing urgent GP Health Services. If you need to use this service, please call the Practice number where you will be given an out of hours number to call.
