111 Service
If you require medical attention or advice when the surgery is closed, please telephone NHS 111 (calls from landlines and mobiles are free).
Advisors will assess your symptoms and guide you to the correct 'Out-of-Hours' local service.
In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
