If you need to see a doctor urgently when the surgery is closed please phone 0161 763 4242 and follow the instructions. You will be put through to BARDOC who provides the ‘out-of-hours’ service. They will pass a message to the doctor on duty who may phone you to assess your problem. You might be asked to attend the out-of-hours clinic, or receive a home visit.
The nearest NHS walk-in centre is located at Prestwich. NHS walk-in centres provide advice and treatment for a range of minor illnesses and injuries.
(N.B. Prestwich walk-in centre is currently closed as is continues to be a COVID vaccination hub)
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.
You can also call 111 or visit https://111.nhs.uk/ to get medical fast where it is not an emergency.
