If you require a doctor for an emergency outside surgery times, please ring 111. You will be passed through to specially trained NHS 111 call handlers who will direct you to the most appropriate service depending on your need. In fact, this is the number to call with any urgent medical problem that you feel cannot wait until your surgery re-opens, or if you are unsure as to whether to attend the Accident & Emergency Department.
