Out of hours please call 03000 24 24 24. Your call will be handled by South East Health.

The doctor may be able to offer you advice over the telephone. If the doctor feels that you need to be examined, you will normally be asked to attend the Primary Care Centre. This is generally based at one of the hospital premises.

Patients whose condition is so serious that they are completely unable to travel will receive a home visit, or the doctor may arrange for an ambulance to attend.

If you require medical advice when the surgery is closed you should contact NHS Direct on 0845 4647 or www.nhs.uk

In a serious emergency dial 999.
