When We Are Closed
The out of hours centre may be contacted in an emergency (although if there is a life threatening emergency please dial 999 for an ambulance). Please dial the surgery number and follow the options. The out of hours centre is situated next to Accident & Emergency at Lincoln County Hospital on Greetwell Road.
Alternatively patients may dial 111 direct for urgent but non life threatening emergencies out of hours.
NHS Direct
In the case of urgent need when the practice is closed you can call
NHS Direct (0845 4647) to speak to a triage nurse. Your needs will be assessed and advice offered or arrangements made for you to see a doctor.
Please do not ask to see a doctor out of hours unless you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.
Call 999 in an emergency. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
