When we are closed

In common with other Milton Keynes doctors, our out of hours calls are initially triaged by the 111 service, who will direct you to the most appropriate service.

You will be asked for personal details before commencing with the call. Depending on your medical problem you will either be given advice, sent to the MKUCS (Milton Keynes Urgent care service), or be referred back to your practice to make an appointment during opening hours. If you have a serious medical problem you will need to go straight to the Emergency Department.

You may be given advice, asked to visit the Urgent Care Centre which is within the grounds of Milton Keynes Hospital, or be visited by the doctor on call.

NHS 111

In the case of urgent need when the practice is closed visit NHS 111 Online or call NHS 111. Your needs will be assessed, and advice offered, or arrangements made for you to see a doctor.

Please do not ask to see a doctor out of hours unless you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

Call 999 in an emergency. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
