When We Are Closed

Dealing With An Emergency

Call 999 in an emergency. 

A medical emergency is a situation in which the health of a person is at high risk of deteriorating rapidly without immediate medical attention.

For example, chest pains, increasing difficulty in breathing, impaired consciousness and any of the signs of a stroke (facial weakness, inability to lift a limb or slurred speech) constitute an emergency.

In a medical emergency you can access urgent paramedical help by calling 999 (or 911)

About NHS 111

Medical help outside of our core hours between 08:00 and 18:30 Mondays - Fridays is provided by NHS 111.

If you need medical assistance between these hours please dial 111.

Calls between these times to the surgery number will also automatically signpost to NHS 111 unless we are providing an extended access clinic.

Your problem will be assessed by NHS111 and you may be given advice by them or asked to attend a local accident and emergency department. If necessary you will be offered an assessment by a doctor or a home visiting service should there be a medical need.
