Opening Hours And Surgeries

The surgery is open from 8.30am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday.

There are also extended opening hours to facilitate commuters and those at work locally. These are strictly for pre booked appointments only.

Extended opening hours: Tues 6.30pm to 8pm

Fri 7.15am to 8am Sat 8.30am -10.30 am

Please bear in mind that surgery times vary for each doctor from day to day and not every doctor is available all the time. The majority of appointments are booked on the day they are required, although pre-booked appointments can be arranged under certain circumstances.

Night / Weekend Calls / Bank Holidays

Your practice takes part in an out-of-hours arrangement which provides EMERGENCY COVER

• between 6.30pm and 8.00am on weekdays
• at weekends from 6.30pm on Friday until 8.00am on Monday
• all day on bank holidays.

To contact a doctor out of hours ring 01706 253300. Your call will be automatically transferred to an NHS Direct receptionist who will take basic details and then transfer you to a triage nurse. Wherever possible your enquiry will be dealt with over the phone and you will be encouraged to see your own doctor or nurse during normal surgery hours.

However, in situations where the problem won’t wait, you may be offered an appointment at one of the local Primary Care Centres where you will be able to see a local GP but not necessarily your own doctor. For patients who are not well enough to leave their homes, the call will be passed on to the emergency duty doctor who will visit the house.

PLEASE NOTE: If possible, please try to contact us during the day. Out-of-hours calls are STRICTLY for EMERGENCIES only!
