These opening times may vary from time to time.

Please note that surgery times may vary slightly depending on circumstances. Surgeries are not held on Saturday mornings or public holidays. Occasionally all GP surgeries in the district close for staff training and education. On these afternoons emergency cover is provided by the local NHS Area Team, and you may telephone the out-of-hours service on 111.

GP Extended Hours

The Extended Access Service is an extension of your usual primary care practice. It is not a walk-in service – you need to make an appointment.

You can get appointments here up to 8pm weekdays, as well as appointments on Saturdays and Sundays. Information about the service is available here or contact reception.
