Out of Hours

In an 'out of hours' situation please telephone NHS 111 - simply dial 111 on the telephone. The service has been introduced for people who need medical care quickly but don't need a 999 emergency service. It operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

If you need to be seen by a doctor you may be asked to go to the out of hours centre at Shepton Mallet Community Hospital.

If you are too unwell to attend you, will be visited at home.
