GP Out-of-Hours Service
The out of hours GP service is a separate facility where a team of GPs and nurse practitioners provide services from 18:30 to 08:00 weekdays, bank holidays and weekends. They offer help, advice and treatment if you have an urgent clinical need that cannot wait for your own GP practice to open.
If you need to see or speak to a GP when your surgery is closed, call NHS 111 and, where appropriate, a clinical advisor will assess you, give advice on when and where to go for treatment, or book you in to see an out of hours GP if needed.
