Out of Hours
The NHS Pledges to provide services at a time that is convenient for you.
Outside normal surgery hours you can still contact your GP surgery, however you will be directed to an Out of Hours service.
The Out of Hours period is from 6pm -7am on weekdays, 5pm – 8am on Saturdays and all day on Sundays and all day on bank holidays.
If you do not have an immediate emergency and you require some medical advice or support out of your normal GP surgery hours, then call NHS on 111.
Urgent and Emergency Care
When is it appropriate to visit an A&E Department?
Only call for an ambulance on telephone number 999 or go to A&E in a genuine life-threatening emergency such as:
- Loss of consciousness
- Acute confused state and fits that are not stopping
- Persistent, severe chest pain
- Breathing difficulties
- Severe bleeding that cannot be stopped
Less severe injuries can be treated in Minor Injury Units (MIUs) and NHS Walk-in Centres.
Details of local centres are provided in the Practice Information leaflet.
We welcome you to Priory View Medical Centre and look forward to providing for your medical requirements in the future.
