To obtain medical advice outside surgery hours and on public holidays you can call NHS 24 direct on 111 or visit the website www.nhs24.com.

This out-of-hours service is generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and/or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
