If you need medical help outside of our normal surgery hours - 8.00am until 6.30pm Monday to Friday you should dial 111 free from your landline or mobile.
The NHS 111 service is a national telephone service being introduced to make it easier for people to access local health services, when they have an urgent, but not life threatening need.
It is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Calls from landlines and mobiles are free.
Fully trained health advisors, who are supported by a local Nurse Advisor, will staff the 111 call centre. The health advisors will use a clinical assessment system - NHS Pathways - that enables them to assess a caller's needs safely and effectively and direct them to the right local NHS service. They will not give the caller a diagnosis.
The Hurley Group is our out of hours deputising service and you may be referred to them via the 111 advisor.
Extended Hours Appointments
We want to make it easier for you to get an appointment. In addition to our normal opening hours, we also offer consultations in the morning 7.00am to 8.00am, evenings 6.30pm to 8.00pm and on Saturdays 9.00am and 5.00pm.
You will be offered a face-to-face consultation, but it may also take place over the phone or video call.
We are working with our neighbouring GP surgeries to offer these additional consultations; you may be offered to attend one of the other surgeries listed below. Our surgery is part of a small group of surgeries called Primary Care Network and we work together in a number of ways. Our neighbouring GP surgeries in the Primary Care Network are:
