There is urgent GP cover 24 hours a day seven days a week. Just ring your usual GP Surgery number day or night and if your surgery is closed you will either be automatically diverted to the 111 service to access out of hours GP services or asked to hang up and ring 111 yourself, which is free to ring from landlines and mobiles.  In fact most surgery telephone numbers are operational between 8am and 6.30pm Monday to Friday so you can just ring 111 yourself if you need to access help outside these hours.

What about dental problems?

Out of hours just ring your dentist or ring 111
