SURGERY OPENING TIMES Doors open: Monday to Friday 8.30am - 6.15pm Extended Hours We are now offering extended hours which are specifically designed to be booked in advance for people who have difficulty getting to the surgery in normal hours. The appointments are pre-bookable only and will become available on the system two weeks ahead of each surgery. The government has advised that it is not to be used for urgent appointments and as such any urgent need to see a doctor out of hours will go through to our 'out-of-hours' providers. These appointments can be made either at reception or by telephoning. Out Of Hours The practice is a member of the Herts Urgent Care out-of-hours service. Outside normal surgery hours, please telephone and our answering machine will tell you who to contact - please have a pen and paper available. After 6.30pm on weekdays, on all weekends and bank holidays, calls will be taken by telephone number 03000 333 333.
