They will need to know:

  • The Patients Name

If you require urgent medical attention or advice outside of surgery hours please call NHS111.

Calls are free from both landlines and mobile phones.

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.
