Urgent Problems: During Surgery Hours

Please telephone at 8.00am or as soon as possible thereafter on 01394 670 107. If you “walk in” to the surgery without having telephoned first, you may face a wait, as GPs may be in surgery or dealing with patient problems on a priority / need basis.

The receptionist may ask you for some indication as to the nature of the problem to make sure that your case is dealt with appropriately. You will either be offered an appointment or a telephone call from the Duty Doctor. 

Alternatively, NHS 111 may be of asistance for advice & signposting of services.

Urgent Problems: Outside Surgery Hours

All non emergency calls should be directed to NHS 111. Please note that routine prescription requests cannot be dealt with by this service.
