The Practice is closed ONCE a month for staff development and training.  Our Doctors, Nursing and administrative staff do need time to train together, which is vital to improve service delivery.  The next date is Wednesday 22nd May 2013.  We DO NOT close on other Wednesday afternoons.

Care When we are Closed

In the event that we are closed you can seek advice by phoning NHS 111 for non-emergency symptoms, or by contacting your pharmacist.  If these services suggest you need to seek urgent care then Primary Care 24, at King's Mill Hospital, provides a 24 hour walk in service.

Please only go to Accident & Emergency if it is an emergency.

NHS Walk-in Centre

Alternatively visit the NHS Walk-in Centre at Nottingham City, Clifton or Ilkeson. This is a GP/Nurse Led drop-in service offering health advice, treatment of minor ailments by experienced NHS nurses and health information advisors. The service is open 365 days a year from 8.00am until 8.00 pm.

Please note that Ashfield Health Village no longer provides a walk-in centre, this has now closed.

Your local pharmacist can also offer you advice and medicines to relieve any symptoms of minor ailments.
