Please note that we are not open over the weekend.

FROM MONDAY 2ND OCTOBER 2023

The emergency telephone line is open from 08:00 – 08:15 & 18:00 – 18:30 for medical emergencies.

If you need to seek urgent medical advice between the hours of 18:30 – 08:00 Monday to Friday or when the surgery is closed on the weekend or on a Bank Holiday please ring 111.  If you have difficulty accessing this service please ring 0345 4647.

Please do not contact this service for routine prescriptions, test results or routine enquiries. The Out of Hours service is for medical conditions that cannot wait until your GP Surgery re-opens.

Help is available to stop you becoming pregnant after having unprotected sex. Two methods are available, the ‘morning after’ pill and the copper intrauterine device (IUD).

The pill can be taken up to 72 hours after sex and is available free from your GP and most family planning clinics. It is also available from some pharmacies.

The IUD is a plastic and copper device that is fitted into the woman’s womb by a doctor or nurse within five days of having unprotected sex.

Mental Health Emergencies

If a person’s mental or emotional state quickly worsens, this can be treated as a mental health emergency or mental health crisis. In this situation, it’s important to get help as soon as possible. Contact NHS Direct to find out where help is available. If you feel the person is in immediate danger then call 999.

Many common complaints can be safely dealt with at home or by speaking to your local Pharmacist.  You do not always need to be seen by a Doctor.

• Diarrhoea
• Hay Vever
• Head Lice
• Chickenpox
• Threadworms
• Sore Throats
• Conjunctivitis
• Verrucas
• Back Pain
• Vaginal and Oral Thrush
• Scabies….

to name a few.
