The out-of-hours emergency service is available by phoning NHS 111 (111 is a Freephone number).

The service normally operates as follows:

• 18:30 – 08:00 Monday to Friday

• Public and Bank Holidays

If you need a doctor urgently, please ring 01354 695888 to be transferred to Urgent Care Cambridge.

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.

Your needs will be assessed and you will be given advice about whether you need:

• Treat yourself at home
• Go to a Primary Care Centre

If you need face to face medical attention you may be asked to attend a Primary Care Centre.
