Duty Doctor Service
Our practice offers the Duty Doctor service for patients with an urgent medical need, the Duty Doctor service is available Monday to Friday (excluding weekends and Bank Holidays) between the hours of 08:00 and 18:30. Patients will receive a call back from the Duty Doctor within 2 hours of contacting the surgery. We recommend this service instead of going to A&E at the hospital.

The Duty Doctor will decide with you what you need, which could be:
