What to do when we are closed


Lunch – The Surgery doors are closed for lunch between 12.30pm and 1:45pm. The phone lines will still be open throughout lunch.

The surgery is closed between the hours of 18:00 – 08:00 Monday to Friday and 18:00 on Friday to 08:00 on Monday. In order to obtain medical advice at these times please call NHS 24 on 111. If you dial the surgery number you will be given the number of NHS 24 to call.

A receptionist at the emergency call centre will answer your call and either:

  • Arrange for you to speak to a doctor or nurse.
  • Invite you to attend the centre to be seen by a doctor.
  • Arrange a home visit if you are too ill to visit the centre.

Transport to and from the centre is available if you cannot arrange this yourself.

Out-of-hours cover is now the responsibility of NHS Lanarkshire.

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.
