When We Are Closed
When the practice is closed, our telephone answer phone system will ask you to hang up and dial 111. Previously you would be automatically transferred to South East Health Limited which provides the out-of-hours emergency doctor service for the region but now access to the out-of-hours doctor is controlled by the NHS 111 servcie.
