Out of Hours

Outside normal surgery hours, if you urgently need to see a doctor please telephone 111.

After 6.30pm on weekdays, on all weekends and bank holidays, calls will be taken by Herts Urgent Care on telephone number 111.

Herts Urgent Care is staffed by GPs from the local area and works from a centre at Hertford County Hospital.

If you need emergency medical attention you will normally be asked to attend the centre although there are facilities to visit you at home.

Please do not go to Herts Urgent Care without phoning first because the service is by appointment only.
