When We Are Closed

The surgery is open from 8am until 6pm weekdays, but is closed at weekends and bank holidays.

Medical services outside of our normal opening hours are provided by the Integrated Care Board which has doctors and emergency care nurse practitioners working at the University Hospital of North Durham. They make home visits, give telephone advice or arrange for consultations at the Out of Hours Centre.
