The out-of-hours service is manned by NHS 24 Medical Professionals. They provide emergency advice cover from 6pm to 8am Monday to Thursday and from 6pm on Friday to 8am on Monday.

Telephone 111 

This number automatically diverts calls to the NHS 24 helpline who will either give advice - advise you to see an appropriate health professional - have you contact your Practice - or arrange for the appropriate out-of-hours services to deal with your medical problem as soon as possible.

A detailed message of any contact will reach your own GP before 9am the following morning.

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.
