Extended Hours
We offer additional appointments on some Monday and Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings.

The health centre will not be open for any enquiries, urgent appointments, for making appointments or prescription requests, nor will the telephone be switched on. If you have a pre-booked appointment you will need to ring the bell at the door and you will be let in.

- Contact the NHS 111 by telephoning 1-1-1
You can also:
- Visit a local pharmacy (chemist). Your local paper will have details of pharmacies open late on weekdays and on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays.
- If your injury or illness is severe, or you have had a serious accident, call 999 and ask for an ambulance. Or you can visit your local A&E department.
