When We Are Closed

You should use the NHS 111 service if you urgently need medical help or advice but not if it is a life-threatening situation.

Call 111 if:

  • you need medical help but it is not a 999 emergency
  • you think you need to go to A&E or another NHS urgent care service
  • you don’t know who to call or you don’t have a GP to call
  • you need health information or reassurance about what to do next.

For less urgent health needs contact your GP or local pharmacist

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.

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