Illness rarely arranges itself around office hours. Appointments are available from 6am to 10pm every day, including weekends and bank holidays.
No out-of-hours surcharge. A 7am Sunday appointment costs the same £40 as a Tuesday afternoon.
6am to 10pm, every day, including weekends and bank holidays.
Book online whenever suits — the booking system does not close. Same-day out-of-hours slots are usually available.
Documents are issued digitally within about ten minutes, whatever the hour.
6am to 10pm, seven days a week, including weekends and bank holidays. Between 10pm and 6am we are closed entirely — nobody here is monitoring messages, and that is worth knowing rather than assuming.
There is no out-of-hours surcharge. A 7am Sunday appointment is the same £40 as a Tuesday afternoon. Charging more for being unwell at an inconvenient time would be a strange way to run a practice.
Before anything else the GP checks whether this is the right service at all. That is not a delay — out of hours it is the most valuable part of the appointment, because the alternatives (111, urgent care, A&E) are the ones you need to hear about quickly.
This is the practical limit that catches people out. A prescription issued at 9pm is not much use if nothing near you is open until morning.
Medication in the boxes, a thermometer reading if there is a fever, photographs of anything visible taken in daylight, and somewhere private with reasonable light.
We are not an emergency service. Between 10pm and 6am, and for anything urgent at any hour, call 111 — or 999 if it is an emergency.
Within about ten minutes — so a Sunday illness produces a sick note your employer has on Monday morning, rather than one you are still chasing on Wednesday.
We are closed. You will be given a specific plan covering the overnight period, and it will name the threshold at which you should not wait for us to reopen.
Do not wait for a morning slot if something has changed sharply. Being seen quickly is the point of this service, and that logic holds just as firmly when the right destination is not us.
Collect first thing. For most conditions a few hours makes no material difference — and where it genuinely would, the GP will have said so and directed you somewhere that can treat you tonight.
A brief follow-up message about the same episode is included. If several days pass with no improvement, that warrants a fresh assessment rather than a message — and sometimes an in-person one.
We are not an emergency or urgent care service, and the distinction matters more out of hours than at any other time.
Between 10pm and 6am we are closed entirely. For anything urgent in those hours, call 111. For an emergency at any hour, call 999.
Do not book an out-of-hours appointment and wait if you have chest pain, breathlessness at rest, stroke symptoms, severe bleeding, a rash that does not fade under a glass, or reduced consciousness. The wait for a slot, however short, is time you do not have.
What being open late does not change:
For a child under three months with a fever, at any hour, seek in-person assessment rather than booking with us.
6am to 10pm, every day of the year including weekends and bank holidays. Between 10pm and 6am we are closed and nobody is monitoring messages.
Those hours exist because the people who most struggle to get an appointment are the ones who cannot take time out of a working day — shift workers, carers, and parents doing school runs.
No. £40, the same as any other appointment, with any sick note, prescription or referral letter included.
No, and the distinction matters more out of hours than at any other time.
We are a GP practice with unusually long opening hours. We are not urgent care, we are not an emergency service, and a same-day slot is not a substitute for 999 when 999 is what you need.
111 for anything urgent that is not an emergency, 24 hours a day. 999 for chest pain, severe breathlessness, stroke symptoms, severe bleeding, a first seizure, or a non-blanching rash.
Check what is open near you before you book. A prescription issued at 9pm is only useful if a pharmacy is open to dispense it, and in most areas nothing is after about 11pm.
Name a late-opening pharmacy when asked. If nothing near you is open, the GP will tell you plainly rather than let you drive around — and where the treatment genuinely cannot wait until morning, that is a reason to be somewhere that can treat you tonight.
No. Requests for sedatives, sleeping tablets or strong painkillers are declined at 9pm for exactly the same reasons they would be at midday.
Out-of-hours requests for controlled drugs are a recognised pattern, and the answer does not change with the clock. This is not a judgement about any individual.
From three months old, yes — with a parent or guardian present throughout — provided they are well in themselves and the problem is not acute.
Any unwell or feverish baby under one needs in-person assessment the same day, and babies under three months are not assessed remotely at all. If your child is unwell tonight rather than simply needing something looked at, that is 111 or urgent care rather than a slot with us.
That is largely who the early slots are for. A 6am appointment at the end of a night shift, or a 9pm one before a late start, is a normal booking here rather than an exception.
111, free, 24 hours a day, with an online version too. 999 for anything that is an emergency.
For mental health crisis at any hour: 111 and choose the mental health option, Samaritans free on 116 123, or text SHOUT to 85258. Please do not wait for us to open at six.

Same-day access is usually available, from 6am to 10pm, seven days a week. You choose a time that suits you rather than waiting on hold at 8am.
Yes. Care is led personally by Dr Mohammad Khan, so you are not passed between clinicians. Continuity is the point of a small practice: someone who knows your history and is listening attentively rather than working through a checklist.
Yes, with your consent. We can access your Summary Care Record during the consultation, so your current medications, allergies and significant history are in the room. That means fewer questions you have already answered elsewhere, and safer prescribing.
No. We are not here to replace GPs, only to support them. Your NHS practice remains responsible for your ongoing care, and with your consent we write to them after the consultation. We are useful when you need to be seen sooner, or want more time than a standard appointment allows.
Twenty unhurried minutes and a comprehensive assessment. A written treatment plan is included, along with any prescription, sick note or referral letter arising from the consultation, at no extra charge.
£40 for 20 minutes, self-pay. Membership is optional and never required. Priced for fairness, because we are not here to charge extortionate amounts for access to a doctor.
It means the diagnosis can usually be made from your history and photographs, and that treatment can be arranged safely without examining you. Where a condition is not marked treatable online, it is because examination is the diagnosis — listening to a chest, feeling an abdomen, examining an ear or a joint — or because a procedure or device is needed.
Yes, where there is a genuine bacterial infection — cellulitis, impetigo, bacterial urine infections, confirmed strep throat. We will also frequently tell you that you do not need one. Most sore throats, coughs, colds and earaches are viral, and an antibiotic gives you the side effects with none of the benefit.
If your problem turns out to be genuinely outside what we can do remotely, the doctor will tell you straight away, point you to the right service, and refund your fee in full. We would rather do that than fill twenty minutes to justify the charge.
Call 999 or go to A&E — do not book an online appointment and do not wait for a reply to an email. For urgent problems that are not emergencies, NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day, online or by phone, and can direct you to the right service.
