When We Are Closed
If you are confronted with a serious problem such as severe chest pain, severe bleeding or shortness of breath we recommend you call an ambulance by dialling 999.
For other types of emergencies and regardless of opening hours, patients should call the Centre on 01268 418200.
Calls will be automatically diverted to the out-of-hours emergency service.
Callers will be asked to give details and will then be transferred to a Doctor who will be able to give further advice or arrange for a visit if deemed necessary.
