Surgery Hours (Both Surgeries)

Extended Opening Hours

The Surgery provides extended hours which are hours outside our core times of 08:00 to 18:30. We also offer telephone calls out of hours. The surgery is closed for anything other than seeing patients with a pre-booked appointment within these times and the surgery telephone system will be switched over to the out of hours service. The appointments are available to all registered patients from either site.

We offer clinics one Saturday a month and some Wednesday and Friday mornings.  The dates are posted on the website.

If you require a medical advice during this time, please call 111.  In emergency, call 999.

When We Are Closed

Emergency medical care is provided by local GPs working for Urgent Care Cambridge. A doctor or a specially trained nurse will assess each call and may offer telephone advice, invite the patient to attend the emergency surgery at UCC's base in Chesterton Hospital or arrange for a home visit.

This service operates when the practice closes, i.e. from 18:00 to 08:00 on weekdays and from 18:00 Friday until 08:00 Monday. During these times, should your require to consult with a doctor urgently, please telephone 0330 123 9131. Please note that for medico-legal reasons your calls to CAMDOC will be recorded.

NHS 111
Alternatively you can access urgent assistance by calling NHS 111 on 111. A triage nurse will assess your situation and take appropriate action. This could simply be by offering advice or where necessary by making arrangements for you to be seen by a doctor.

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.
