NHS 111
In the case of urgent need when the practice is closed you can call 111. This number is to be used when you need medical help fast, but it is not an emergency. The team has trained advisors and nurses who can help. They will ask questions to find out what help you need.
NHS 111 is free to call from landlines and most mobiles but pay as you go mobiles need to have at least 1p in credit to call.
Please do not ask to see a doctor out of hours unless you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.
Call 999 in an emergency. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
