Where we are

Out of Hours and Weekend Calls
If you ring the surgery number outside opening hours you will be given the number of Cumbria Health On Call (CHOC) who provide out of hours cover for our area.
Emergencies
If you need emergency medical help, call 999. Only use 999 for real emergencies, for example, when someone has chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe stomach ache, has collapsed, had a serious accident, or has overdosed. If you are injured or seriously ill, you could get a friend or relative to take you to A and E. If you are not sure if it is an emergency, and you have enough time, call NHS Direct on 0845 4647, or during surgery hours, you may contact the surgery for advice.
