For patients who are not able to attend during normal opening hours we offer pre-bookable routine appointments with both our Doctors and our Nurses on Tuesdays from 0730 to 0800 and 1830 to 1930, and some weekends. If you would like to book one of these appointments please ask.

The surgery closes on a Wednesday Lunchtime for staff training between 1300 – 1400.

The inner front doors to the Surgery building will be closed at 1300. Please ensure that all prescriptions are collected before this time. The doors will reopen at 1400 Please take a seat in the inner entrance area until we open again.

If you need urgent medical attention during this time please phone the Surgery number (01305 250989) where you will be given a contact number to speak to a member of staff. This is for URGENT calls only.

If your call is not urgent you will be asked to call back after 1400 when the surgery re-opens.

If you have an emergency that cannot wait until the Surgery reopens, you should dial 999 and ask for an ambulance.

If you are unwell in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, contact:
