Patients requiring out of hours medical care can ring the surgery number (537 4980) to be redirected to a triage nurse service who will assess their needs and give appropriate advice (e.g. phone back in the morning, or you should go to hospital now).

No appointment is needed. Eastcare is an extension of the local doctors' practice and is equipped to deal with all common health problems including sports, industrial injuries and fracture assessment.
