Out-of-Hours Emergencies Tel: 111
When you ring the practice out of hours, you will be asked to call 111 which is a free number to call.
Only continue with the call if it is a genuine medical emergency. 111 covers a very wide area so the service is under a lot of pressure. If your problem can wait until the morning, contact the surgery then, and we will be happy to help.
111 does not have access to patient medical records, so try to have as much information to hand regarding the patient as possible when you call.
