Do NOT go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.

You do not need to contact 111/us to advise you're staying at home.

Use the NHS 111 online coronavirus service if:

  • you feel you cannot cope with your symptoms at home
  • your condition gets worse
  • your symptoms do not get better after 7 days

NHS England have advised us to move to a total triage service. This means you will not be able to book face to face appointments. A doctor will speak to you and if they feel you need to be seen, you will be given an appointment. Please ring in to book a telephone appointment.

How can you help?

When We Are Closedtelephone_brown

Outside of normal surgery hours emergency cover is provided by 111 (on telephone number 111) & Integrated Care 24-IC2 (on telephone number 0845 145 0121).

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.  

Think you need help - 111
