Please do not ask to see a doctor out of hours unless you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens. We believe Churchfields Surgery is best placed to provide your optimal care.

If you do have an urgent medical problem outside opening hours telephone the national 111 advice service.

The West Midlands call handlers are contacted by dialling the freephone number 111.  

You will be offered advice on the best service to deal with your medical problem and how to contact them. If necessary your call will be forwarded to the Out of Hours GP service for Worcestershire which is currently provided by Harmoni, a wholly owned subsidiary of CareUK. 

Harmoni will offer telephone advice, a consultation based at an out-of-hours centre or, if necessary, will arrange for a doctor to visit. Please note that the staff do not have access to your surgery medical notes so will need you to provide all details including your medications that you use normally.

Please make sure you contact this service by telephone rather than just turning up because all appointments for the doctor are booked in this way.

Severe chest pains or breathing difficulties constitute an emergency. Call 999.

111 online is a fast and convenient alternative to the 111 phone service and provides an option for people who want to access 111 digitally. 

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.

There is no need to book an appointment and there is no need to be registered. Please note that the staff do not have access to your surgery medical notes so will need you to provide all details including your medications that you use normally.

If you are not registered at the centre your usual GP will be informed of any treatment that you receive in the centre, and in some cases you may be directed back to your own surgery for ongoing treatment.
