When We Are Closed

 
When the surgery is closed, please listen to the telephone message for advice on what to do. Please see our 'Opening Times' page for exact opening hours.

Call 999 in an emergency.

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.

Urgent out of hours matters are dealt with by Medvivo.

You can access the 111 service online. Alternatively, you can call 111 (free from landlines or mobile phones). 

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