Out of our normal surgery hours, our patients are looked after by the regional 'out of hours' or deputising service (currently CareUK). They send us details of who has been seen and the problem dealt with.

If you need a doctor outside normal surgery hours you should phone 01226 762257. You will be re-directed automatically to CareUK who will take the appropriate details.

A doctor may offer appropriate advice, or make arrangements for you to be seen either at a local hospital or - where appropriate - at your home.

Please note that all calls to the out of hours service are recorded for audit and training purposes, and for your protection.
