Call 999 in an emergency. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath, severe bleeding, collapse or unconsciousness constitute an emergency.
Please do not ask to see a doctor out of hours unless you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens. If you do need to see a doctor when the practice is closed, telephone 0845 155 2255.
The practice out-of-hours cover is now provided by South East Health (formerly On Call Care). Your call will be answered by a trained operator at South East Health headquarters who will arrange the most appropriate action for you. Your call may be answered or managed by a triage nurse, a duty doctor, a request to visit the primary care centre or a visit from a mobile doctor if necessary. Your calls to South East Health will be recorded.
