When we are Closed

Out-of-hours (OOH) refers to those times of the day and night when the surgery is not open.

If you require medical attention when the surgery is open, the surgery should be your first port of call unless it is an emergency or life threatening situation.

The GP Out of Hours Service is based at Arrowe Park Hospital and provides urgent care or advice when the surgery is closed: Monday to Friday 6.30pm-8am, Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays.

If you need to contact a doctor OOH for matters which cannot wait until the next normal surgery, you should phone NHS 111. This information is available via our answer phone when phoning the surgery line.

Please remember that GP Out of Hours is not a drop in service – you must phone first.

Whatever the day or time, if you or someone else experiences severe chest pain or serious injury, go to your nearest accident and emergency department or call 999.

999 should only be used in a critical or life threatening situation
