• Symptoms which you feel cannot wait for a routine appointment.
• Pain unrelieved by Paracetamol.
• Young children and babies with worrying symptoms.
• Emergency contraception (not repeat regular contraception.)
• Episodic problems, where you have been asked to attend during such an episode.

These appointments are not for:

• Repeat prescriptions.
• Sick notes.
• Test results (unless expressly requested by the Doctor.)
• Follow-up appointments.
• For symptoms you have had for some time and that have not changed or worsened.  (It is better to make a routine appointment when more time can be allocated).

Out of Hours

This practice uses a GotoDoc Service for out of hours and weekend cover.  Your GP is therefore able to give 100% during the day.

The Duty Service may give advice, or ask you to attend a Primary Care Centre. They will visit you only if they feel this is the best medical option.
Please use this service wisely.

Ring the surgery number (0161 368 5224) and your call will be directed to the deputising service.
