Surgery Times

OUT OF HOURS

The out-of-hours service is provided by Integrated Care Sefton from 6.30pm each evening until 8.00am the following working day. The out-of-hours service also operates at weekends and on all bank/public holidays.

For many problems telephone advice may be all that is needed, but if it is decided that you need to see a doctor, then you will be asked to attend the GP On Call Centre at Town Lane, Southport or Phillips Lane, Formby. Home visits out of hours are only for those who are too ill to travel. Please leave non-urgent calls until the surgery is open again.
