When We Are Closed
All out of hour calls are covered by WestCall, the local out of hours service (0118 9787811).
You may be asked to attend the Primary Care Centre in Reading, instead of having a home visit. For many problems a telephone consultation may be appropriate.
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.
