Between 6.30pm and 8.00am Monday to Friday and all day
Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays please telephone 111.
You will be assessed, given advice and directed straightaway to the local service that can help you best. Calls to NHS 111 are free from landlines and mobile phones.
NB: For immediate, life-threating situations then 999 should still be called.
Saturday Appointments
In line with NHS initiatives to extend GP hours of service, we offer a limited number of routine appointments on Saturday mornings. The purpose of these apppointments is for patients who have genuine difficulty leaving work during the week to have more opportunity to see a doctor routinely in a standard 10 minute consultation.
Please note that appointments for insurance/employment/lighter life medicals etc are not available on Saturday mornings. Please see the “appointments” section for further details. Patients will need to pre-book these appointments in advance of the Saturday morning.
In order to meet the aims of these Saturday surgeries, patients requiring urgent appointments or home visits will still be required to contact the ‘out of hours’ service by telephoning 111.
As the funding available to provide these surgeries is limited, there will be no Nurse led clinics available on Saturdays.
Please note that if non-repeat medicines are required urgently out of hours, then the Out of Hours service should be contacted on 111.
