Out-of-Hours
If you develop a medical problem
that cannot wait until the next working day, or you need urgent medical advice,
please telephone 0845 121 0235. This number is also on a recorded message when
you telephone the surgery after hours.
If you need attention you will
be asked to attend the GP clinic, which is next door to Casualty at Weston General
Hospital. Visits are only made if you are bedridden
or unfit to travel.
These clinics are for emergencies only and they should
NOT be used as an alternative to seeking a consultation with us.
As a security precaution, the GP clinic is kept
locked. Therefore, it is not possible to attend without first telephoning 0845
121 0235.
IF, IN AN EMERGENCY, YOU ARE UNABLE TO GET THROUGH ON 0845 121 0235, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO TELEPHONE 999
FOR AN AMBULANCE.
NHS Direct offers 24 hour advice on 0845 4647 for the cost of a local call. The nearest
NHS Direct Walk-in centre is:
