Opening Times

The surgery is open Monday to Friday between 08:00 - 18:00. The consulting times of the doctors can vary from week to week but are generally as follows:

Extended Hours

There are weekly early morning appointments offered for the convenience of patients who find it difficult to attend during normal consulting hours. They are for non-urgent problems and must be booked in advance. Patients requiring blood tests or further investigations as a result of these appointments may have to return during normal hours for this to be carried out by one of our nurses.  Please check with reception for further guidance and up-to-date consulting times.

Occasionally there are some late evening appointments which are also for non-urgent problems and these must also be booked in advance.

When We Are Closed

When the surgery is closed you should contact the telephone health advice line, NHS 24.  The telephone number is 111.

You will speak to a call handler who will pass you to an NHS 24 nurse.  He or she will either offer advice over the phone or may arrange for a doctor to call you back.  If you need to see a doctor or nurse, you will be asked to attend an out-of-hours centre or, if necessary, a home visit will be arranged. 

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 constitute an emergency.
