MAY 2022: Important! OUT OF HOURS MOBILE NUMBER DISCONTINUED:
The Surgery has recently received government funding to upgrade to a modern telephone system. This means patients requiring urgent medical advice during weekday afternoons when the Surgery is closed no longer need to remember a mobile phone number. Instead, the main Surgery line 01496 820218 can be rung at any time. An automated system will advise on the steps necessary, with the message heard changing depending on the time and day of the call. Patients requiring advice during evenings and weekends should continue to contact NHS24 on 111.
Emergencies such as suspected heart attacks, strokes and significant injuries should always be dealt with by ringing 999.
The mobile phone previously in use has now been disconnected. We would be grateful if all patients could take the time to remove this number from their contact lists and from any holiday accommodation they are responsible for, as well as advising friends and family who may not have access to the internet or social media channels to do the same.
