OUT OF HOURS & EMERGENCIES

In the event of a medical emergency outside normal surgery hours, telephone 0844 815 1105. Your call will be answered by the automated system.

Select option '0' for the emergency GP service, you will be put straight through.

The out of hours service is provided by the practice using a Leicester wide deputising service. The deputising doctor may offer telephone advice, ask you to visit their ‘out-of-hours’ centre, or if medically indicated, visit you at home.

WALK-IN CENTRES

NHS walk-in centres are open 8am - 8pm 365 days a year. They provide urgent care without the need to book an appointment. They should ONLY be used as an alternative to attending Accident & Emergency Departments (A&E).

Wheelchair Users

The consulting room doors are quite narrow and do not allow entry with some wheelchairs.

There are steep steps to a small number of consulting rooms. When booking an appointment please ask to see someone in a room before the steps.

The nearest wheelchair accessible toilet is in the student counselling building, next door to the health centre. Please be aware that this building is sometimes closed and unavailable.
