When We Are Closed

When the surgery is closed there will be a message on the telephone advising you where to ring for medical assistance. Please note there is not a facility for patients to leave messages. Please ensure you follow the instructions carefully. The current out of hours telephone number is 111. 

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.  

Barking & Dagenham GP Hub

Urgent GP appointments

To help more people who need to be seen urgently by a local doctor same day appointments are available seven days a week; this includes weekday evenings, weekends and bank holidays. The appointments are available to everyone registered with a GP across north east London. You can call NHS 111 to book an out of hours appointment.

After seeing the evening GP, details of the consultation and any medicines prescribed will be sent to the patient’s own GP by 9am the next working day, so the family doctor knows what has happened and what, if any, treatment has been provided.
