What To Do When We Are Closed
If you call the surgery out of hours for urgent medical assistance you will be requested to hang up and call 111. The NHS 111 is a free phone number from any mobile or land line as long as you have 1p in credit. You can also visit 111.nhs.uk.
If you need to go to A&E, NHS 111 will book an arrival time. This will mean you spend less time in A&E.
NHS 111 is also able to direct to or book appointments at Urgent Treatment Centres, GP surgeries, pharmacies, emergency dental services and walk-in clinics.
The out of hours service is commissioned by Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board and provided by Cumbria Health on Call Ltd.
Remember if you or someone you know has a life-threatening illness or injury then you should still call 999 immediately.
