When We Are Closed
Between 18:00 and 08:00 Monday - Friday, and 18:00 on Friday until 08:00 on Monday, the surgery is closed. In order to obtain medical advice at these times, please dial the usual surgery number 0141 772 4744. A receptionist at the emergency call centre will answer your call. She will either:
- arrange advice from a doctor or nurse
- invite you to attend the centre to be seen by the doctor
- arrange a home visit if you are too ill to attend
Transport to and from the centre is available if you cannot arrange this yourself. Out- of-hours cover is now the responsibility of GGNHSB.
Further advice and information can also be obtained from NHS 24 on 111, web address www.nhs24.com.
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.
