Out of Hours
In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and/or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
For non-emergency medical issues, when we are closed you will need to call NHS 111 (dial 111). This is a message handling service and the doctor on call will then telephone you back as soon as possible. You can find more information on NHS 111 here.
NEW Devon CCG is responsible for commissioning this service.
Assistance can also be obtained from the following walk-in centres:
- 31 Sidwell Street, Exeter. Telephone 01392 276892.
- Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital A & E department. Telephone 01392 411611.
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.
