Weekend And Night Cover
When the surgery is closed, out-of-hours services are provided by 111 out of hours. In an emergency use the 999 service. For less urgent medical help that will not reasonably wait until the following morning, please telephone NHS111 by dialling 111 and help will be arranged for you. You may be asked to attend a local out of hours centre or a home visit could be arranged. Please don’t abuse this service and please try not to attend the A&E department at HRI unless it is an accident or emergency.
