The Surgery is open every morning and three afternoons a week, please check with reception for opening times as this is subject to change.

When We Are Closed

Outside of normal surgery hours patients are asked to contact the Out-Of-Hours service (NHS111) by telephoning 111

The operator will assess you on the telephone and then direct you to the correct health provider. This could be a late night chemist, dentist, A&E or an ambulance may be arranged, amongst other solutions.

Out-of-hours services are 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.

Training Closures

Staff Training

Occasionally we need to close to conduct mandatory staff training and meetings. During this time our telephones will be switched over to Devon Doctor on Call who can assist you with any medical complaints. In an emergency you should contact 999. We will notify you in advance if we plan to close.
