Out Of Hours And Emergencies

Please see our Extended Opening Hours page for additional opening times available to you at some of our practices, which includes evenings, weekends and bank holidays. 

Out of Hours Service

If you require urgent medical assistance, which cannot wait until your surgery re-opens, you should call 111.  Calls to the NHS 111 service are free from both landlines and mobiles. You will be assessed, given advice and directed straight away to the local service that can help you best.

If you have a life-threatening medical emergency please dial 999.

Ask Your Pharmacist

Pharmacists are medicines experts and are able to give free health advice and treatment about common illnesses like colds and flu or sickness and diarrhoea. You do not need an appointment, and you can speak to them in confidence.

NHS 111

You should call the NHS 111 service if you need medical help fast, but it’s not a 999 emergency. You will be assessed, given advice and directed straight away to the local service that can help you best. Calls to NHS 111 are free from landlines and mobile phones.

NHS England has produced a short film to help people with a learning disability, autism or both, understand how and when to access the service, and what to expect.
