SURGERY TIMES

OUT OF HOURS

Telford and Wrekin NHS is contracted to provide out-of-hours care for our patients. For any emergencies when the surgery is closed, including evenings, weekends and bank holidays, you should ring the surgery on (01952) 586471. Alternatively, you can telephone directly to the Out-of-Hours service on 08444 06 8888 where your call will be dealt with by a GP/healthcare professional.

You may be asked to visit the emergency treatment centre (SHROPDOC) at the Princess Royal Hospital when the practice is covered by a doctor from the area. Visits will be accepted if the patient’s condition warrants this. All the details from home visits will be made available to your GP the next working day.

Advice can also be obtained by telephoning NHS Direct on 0845 4647 or accessing NHS Direct Online at http:/www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk. These services are available 24 hours a day.
