If you need help when we are closed

Church Street Partnership switchboard is open from 8am until 5pm. For urgent advice from your GP between 5pm and 6.30pm call 01279 657636 and follow the recorded message instructions.

If you need medical advice between 6.30pm and 8am weekdays, at weekends or bank holidays you should dial 111. You will connect to the NHS 111 service and your problem will be assessed by the call handler. You may be given self-help advice or advised to speak to a pharmacist.

For more serious conditions, a call handler from 111 will call you back and discuss the problem further. If you need to be seen before your own surgery reopens you may be offered an appointment with a GP or a home visit (at the discretion of the service).

Please note that the 111 service operates 24 hours a day and can provide general medical advice. If you are unsure if you need to see a GP, consider calling 111 first.

If you have any accessibility requirements, including support for hearing, visual, mobility, or communication needs, or if you have a hidden disability or sensory sensitivity, please let us know when contacting the practice.

This ensures that patients who cannot access online services are still able to receive care.  Please note that this does not bypass the use of online services for patients who are able to use them, as these remain a key part of our service delivery.
