Practice History

The surgery is open between 8.00am and 6.30pm weekdays only - excluding Tuesday when we close at 12 noon. Our receptionists are available during these hours and will help you with all enquiries. Facilities for the disabled, including wheelchair access and toilets are available. The health centre administrative staff (not our practice staff) are not available over the lunchtime period between 12.30 and 1.30pm.

Out Of Hours - Night And Weekend Calls

If you need urgent medical attention in the night, at weekends or during bank holidays, you should telephone: 08452 26 26 26.

You may be given telephone advice, invited to the out-of-hours Primary Care Centre where there are excellent facilities for treating most illnesses, or visited by a doctor if necessary. As with daytime visits, these should be only when you are too ill to attend the centre and not due to lack of transport! It is unlikely that the emergency doctor will be your own doctor.

Please note: try to contact us during the day. Out-of-hours calls are strictly for emergencies only!

If the surgery is closed at any other time, for example, Tuesday afternoons or for staff meetings, our answer machine will give details of the number you need to ring for urgent attention.

For dental emergencies and dental pain please contact your dentist or telephone NHS Direct on 0845 46 47.
