When We Are Closed
Please note that although there is always a Doctor on call there is not always a Doctor or Nurse at the surgery.
When the Surgery is closed, please telephone 0845 600 10 13 for URGENT CARE SERVICE, DORSET & SOMERSET. Your call will be answered by a trained telephonist. The doctor for your area will give advice or visit as necessary. All calls are recorded.
NHS Direct
In the case of urgent need when the practice is closed you can call
NHS Direct (0845 4647) to speak to a triage nurse. Your needs will be assessed and advice offered or arrangements made for you to see a doctor.
Please do not ask to see a doctor out of hours unless you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.
Call 999 in an emergency. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
