When We Are Closed
If you require a doctor after 6.00pm during the week, on Saturdays and Sundays or Bank Holidays please ring the out of hours number (01422 825341). Your call will be answered by NHS Direct and a trained nurse will discuss your problem initially. Duty doctors from Care UK will be available to offer advice or if necessary to arrange an appointment at the Care UK Treatment Centre at the local hospital. If you are not well enough to travel you will be visited at home.
Please note that calls to Care UK are recorded.
