Out of Hours
When our Surgery is closed from 6:30pm to 8:00 am weekdays, weekends and on Public and Bank Holidays, you will be able to access medical services through the Out of Hours Care Service provided by NHS Hampshire. Please do not ask to see a doctor out of hours unless you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.
Out of Hours Care Service telephone number - 0300 300 2012
You will be asked for some details so that your needs can be assessed. You may be offered advice, an appointment at a primary care centre or a home visit. Please note that the primary care centres only see patients by appointment, so please ring the above number first.
Important
For EMERGENCIES you should continue to attend the Accident & Emergency Department of your local Hospital or dial 999. (An emergency is a critical or life-threatening situation and includes things like chest pain or suspected heart attack, head injury, severe loss of blood, severe breathing difficulties, loss of consciousness, deep wounds, suspected broken bones).
When should I call an ambulance or go straight to hospital?
Chest pain where a heart attack is suspected is a reason to call 999. In addition discovery of any unconscious person with no pulse or a patient who has severe difficulty with breathing. Severe injuries (including suspected fractures or suturing) need to be seen at Hospital.
