When We Are Closed
When you need a doctor for an urgent medical problem, out-with normal surgery hours, please telephone NHS 24 on 111.
Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.
In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
When you phone NHS 24, you will be asked details clarifying who is phoning, who has the problem and what the problem is.
Depending on the urgency:
You may be contacted by a nurse, this can take some time.
You may get advice from a nurse immediately.
You may be advised to attend a Minor Injury Unit.
A Dr may be informed to visit or you might be advised to attend A&E or dial 999 for an ambulance.
