Urgent advice: When we are closed

When the surgery is closed, call NHS 111.  111 is the NHS non-emergency number. It’s fast, easy and free. 

Call 111 and 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.

You may also use NHS Online at https://111.nhs.uk/

In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.  

NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Calls are free from landlines and mobile phones.

Non-urgent advice: NHS On-Line

NHS 111 online is a fast and convenient alternative to the 111 phone service and provides an option for people who want to access 111 digitally. 

Your needs will be assessed and you will be given advice about whether you need to treat yourself at home or go to a Primary Care Centre.

Urgent Treatment Centres

Urgent treatment centres (UTCs) provide urgent medical help when it's not a life-threatening emergency. They can diagnose and deal with many common problems people go to A&E for.

Services can be accessed by calling 111 or online at NHS 111 - this is the best way to access our services as 111 staff are able to either book you an appointment or signpost you the most appropriate service, for example the Emergency Department, a pharmacy or GP practice.

Patients who self-present to our Urgent Treatment Centres will be triaged (clinically assessed and prioritised) by an Urgent Care practitioner, and, if appropriate, they will ask you to wait or return at a later time, or will signpost you to the most appropriate service. 

Urgent Treatment Centers are not an Emergency Department

If you have a suspected heart attack, stroke, severe allergic reaction, seizure, severe blood loss, altered level of consciousness, or have had a serious accident - you MUST call 999 immediately. 

Waiting times vary due to the unpredictable nature of our service. Staff will see patients on a priority basis according to their level of clinical need. Our staff will not tolerate violent or abusive behaviour. Services are available for children and adults of all ages.
