When your GP is closed, it’s important to know where to turn.

Out-of-hours services are for urgent care that can’t wait until your GP reopens.

Before you need help, plan ahead:
✔️ Order prescriptions in good time
✔️ Check your GP opening hours
✔️ Know your local pharmacy options
Choosing the right service helps make sure urgent care is there for those who need it most.
