Opening Times

The surgeries are closed one afternoon per month for training and development. This will usually be the 2nd Wednesday of the month; notification of the dates are displayed on the outside door at each surgery.

*Please note with effect from Wednesday 1st November Calow will open at 08:00 

When We Are Closed

If you need urgent medical attention when the surgery is closed you should dial 111. This will connect you to the NHS 111 Service free of charge which is provided by a local organisation: Derbyshire Health United. You will be assessed and directed to the most appropriate point of care for your particular needs.

You can also dial 111 if you require health information.

If you require an appointment at the surgery please contact us during normal opening hours.

Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.  

Closure Dates

One Wednesday afternoon per month both surgeries will be closed from 12:30 for 'Quality Educational Study Time' (QUEST). This protected time is authorised and arranged by the local clinical commissioning group and provides practices with a small amount of protected time to concentrate on essential training and quality issues.

During the time the practice is closed, urgent problems are dealt with by Derbyshire Health United (DHU), our local out of hour’s service provider. Patients should telephone ‘111’ (this is a free call from both landlines and mobile phones) and DHU will assess your symptoms/conditions and direct you to the most appropriate point of care for your particular needs.
