Out of hours, need medical help fast - call 111
111 is an NHS service that provides urgent medical help for
non life threatening situations. Calls to 111 are free from both
landlines and mobiles. It is available 24 hours a day and if you are
anxious about ill health or uncertain about what to do then 111 staff
can give you a full range of advice from self care at home, to arranging
an out-of-hours consultation or sending for an ambulance.
On dialling 111 a team of fully trained advisers and experienced nurses will assess your condition and direct you to the local service that can help you best, when you need it.

In the past if you dialled the surgery telephone number it would automatically transfer you to our Out of Hours provider - the new service is not able to do this and unfortunately we now have an answering machine advising you to ring 111.
Surgery is open for calls 8.00 am to 6.30 pm, Monday to Friday - if you require advice or assistance outside of these hours dial 111 - its easy!
