DONCARE AT THE MEDICAL CENTRE

HOURS OF OPENING AND SURGERY TIMES

The Medical Centre is staffed and open:

On two Wednesdays, most months, we are staffed from 7.30am to 12 noon - the afternoon is taken up with further training of our medical and support team to ensure we give you the best possible care using the most up-to-date systems. See the notice on our front door for list of dates.

Surgeries are held throughout the day to give you the maximum range of appointment times - the last appointment being 15 minutes before closing time.

OUT OF HOURS SERVICES

If you need to contact a doctor outside normal surgery hours please phone the surgery number (01302 349431). Your call will then be redirected to the out-of-hours service. Please remember to give complete details of the patient’s name and address.The doctor who works during the evening or night will have to complete a full day’s work the following day so please try to limit the number of out-of-hours calls to genuine emergencies. NHS Direct provides a 24-hour advice service and are there to help you: their number is 0845 4647. They also have a website at www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk

DISABLED ACCESS

To enable access to the surgery for our disabled patients we have a lift to the upper floor of the building, a front door wide enough to facilitate wheelchairs etc and a disabled toilet facility. Please let us know if you need any special help.
