When We Are Closed

 
On Thursday afternoons, urgent medical cover is provided by Sutton Benger Surgery. Please telephone (01249) 720244.

Chest pains, shortness of breath, acute onset of facial or one sided weakness are examples of symptoms that would constitute an emergency.

 
When we are closed overnight and at weekends, you should call 111 for advice and to arrange an out of hours GP consultation if appropriate.

Please call 111 or follow the instructions on the answering message of the main surgery telephone number. You can also access 111 online.

You may be asked to attend the Primary Care Centre located at Chippenham Hospital.
