Out-of-hours
If you need to contact a doctor when the surgery is closed, please ring the usual number 0844 477 3476. When you ring you will be automatically redirected to Derbyshire Health United, who provides out of hours medical services on behalf of Derbyshire County Primary Care Trust.
Please do not ask to see a doctor out of hours unless you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.
Frequently asked questions about the out-of-hours service can be found on our guide to NHS out-of-hours services in Derbyshire – A Guide to Getting Access.
