Out of Hours
 The Out of Hours Service operates when the GP surgery is closed:
- Between the hours of 6.30 pm and 8.00 am, Monday to Friday
- Weekends
- Bank and Public holidays
The practice is open from 8.00 am to 6.30 pm Monday to
Friday. Patients who require medical attention outside of normal opening hours
should telephone 01785 850226 to contact the Out of Hours Service,
which is operated by the West Midlands Ambulance Service.. Your call will
be automatically diverted to the Out of Hours Service who will be
able to offer you appropriate medical care either by arranging for a
community paramedic or GP to visit you at home, arrange for an appointment
at the Out of Hours Centre in Stafford, or offer you appropriate advice.
