NHS Walk-In Centres
NHS Walk-in Centres are open 7 days a week and an appointment is not necessary. For your nearest NHS Walk-in Centre visit the NHS Direct website.
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.
