Emergency cover before 08:00 and after 18:30 on weekdays, and 24 hours a day at weekends, is provided by the out-of-hours provider.

If you have an urgent medical problem which cannot wait until the surgery re-opens, a duty doctor can be contacted by telephoning 111.

Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath / severe blood loss constitute an emergency.
