Our routine surgery hours are 8am – 6.30pm Monday to Friday but when the surgery is closed there are a number of ways in which the surgery can still help you.
If the problem or query isn’t urgent and you feel it can wait until the surgery is open again, send an online consultation to us via the website HERE and we will get in touch with you within 24 hours of the surgery opening again. Our online consultation will also offer self-help advice if it is available for any of the concerns you enter whilst completing the online consultation. If you have a problem or query that you feel needs more urgent attention, then there are a number of ways in which appropriate help is available.

4. Outside of the above hours you will be directed to 111 which is the NHS non-emergency number. You will speak to a highly trained adviser, supported by healthcare professionals. They will ask you a series of questions to assess your symptoms and immediately direct you to the best medical care for you. This may be a telephone call from our own Clinical Assessment Service the following day if it is deemed your problem can wait. Alternatively, you will be directed to a clinician within the out of hours services. Calls are free from landlines and mobile phones.
