Out of Hours Weekend and Bank Holiday Service
This practice offers an out-of-hours GP and Practice Nurse service for our registered patients. Appointments are not held at this surgery but are instead at either Puzey Practice in Rochford or Ashingdon Medical Centre in Ashingdon. This is not a walk-in service and appointments must be pre-booked by telephoning Wakering Medical Centre (Mon-Fri). They can offer telephone appointments, face-to-face, blood tests, dressings etc and are also open on Saturdays.
NHS Out Of Hours Service
In the case of urgent need when the practice is closed you can contact the NHS out of hours service, the number is 111 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.
The above also applies when the practice is closed for TTL (Time to Learn sessions) which are held on the first Tuesday of each month when the practice closes at 1pm.
