Emergencies

We have a doctor on call for emergencies between 08:00 and 18:00. In the event of an emergency during opening times, simply ring reception. Between 08:00 and 08:30 ring the administration line (420 0535). Note that before 08:30 this number is only for emergencies that cannot wait until reception opens.

Outside these hours, urgent care is available from A&E, GatDoc or the Walk In Centre.

In the event of a life threatening emergency (eg chest pain), don't delay: ring 999
