Opening Times

Evening Surgeries

The practice also offers appointments once a week after 18:00. These will take place on Monday, Tuesday Wednesday or Thursday nights with one doctor and one nurse providing appointments until 7.10pm. (last appointment being 6.45pm) We hope these appointments will be most useful for patients who work during the day. These appointments can be booked up to 2 weeks in advance.

Protected Learning Time Closures

The practice will be closed on a small number of afternoons during the year. This is to allow undisturbed training time for doctors and staff. It is never more often than one afternoon per month, and never more than 6 per year. The next afternoon closure is Wednesday 12th June 2019, 11th of September, 9th of October and 13th of November 2019.    NHS 24 covers in the same way as at weekends and at night [see "when we are closed"]

When We Are Closed

If you are ill and need urgent medical advice when the surgery is closed, call NHS 24 on 111. If you call the surgery number during these times you will hear a message asking you to call NHS 24.

In the first instance trained nurses will deal with calls to this service. If you need to be seen by a doctor this will be arranged for you.

All calls to this service are recorded for medico-legal purposes.

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, among other things, constitute an emergency.
