GP
If you have an illness or injury that won't go away that isn't life threatening, contact your GP surgery first if possible to make an appointment. They provide a range of services by appointment and when absolutely essential can make home visits. Core opening hours are Mon-Fri 8am - 6.30pm. Many GPs now offer extended opening hours including at evenings and weekends. Please contact your practice for details.
GP Out of Hours Service
If you need to see a doctor urgently outside opening hours, contact your local surgery. You will be given the number for, or be transferred to the Out of Hours service. If you cannot get through to the service via your practice, or you have not registered with a GP you can contact the service direct on 0845 045 0411.
If you need to be seen, you will be given an appointment at a base of your choice.
Repeat prescriptions
Please ensure that you request repeat prescriptions from your GP in plenty of time so that you do not run out of your essential medication. The emergency department and walk-in centres should not be used for this.
