Surgery hours

Opening times

The surgery is open for patients to attend on Monday to Friday between 8.15am - 6.0pm, except on Wednesdays when we close from 12.30pm to 2pm for staff meetings and training.

The telephones are open from 8.0am to 5.30pm.

For details of appointments, see the Appointments page.

Out Of Hours

If you need to call out the doctor during the evening, night or at weekends, you should phone the out-of-hours service provided by the Darlington Primary Care Trust on 01325 746322. If you cannot remember this number or do not have it to hand, you can ring the usual surgery number 01325 380640; you will then receive a recorded message that gives you the out-of-hours number.

When you ring the out-of-hours service, you will be referred to a doctor or other healthcare professional who may either give you advice over the telephone, ask you to attend the primary care medical centre in Darlington, or arrange a home visit. Please note that the doctor will not be one of the doctors from this Practice.

If you need medical advice outside surgery hours, but do not necessarily need to see a doctor, please ring NHS Direct (see below).
