Out of Hours Emergencies

Please call NHS24 on 111

The 111 service provides urgent care triage if you think you need A&E, but it is not life threatening, and advice when your GP, pharmacy or dental practice is closed.

To find out more about the 111 service click here:

- It should not be used instead of a day time appointment

- All calls are monitored and will be reviewed by our Doctors

- Remember the Out of Hours Service is for urgent problems only.

- Please do not contact the service for a second opinion or for anything which can wait until the next working day

A receptionist in the emergency call centre will answer your call and either:

- Arrange advice from a doctor or nurse

- Invite you to attend the centre to be seen by a doctor

- Arrange a home visit if you are too ill to visit the centre

In a genuine emergency where there is a danger to life or serious injury you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
