When We Are Closed
If you have a life threatening emergency then please dial 999.
If you need to see a doctor urgently when the practice is closed you can telephone 111. Please only use this service if you cannot wait until the practice reopens. They are unable to make a routine appointment for you to be seen at the practice or deal with any non urgent matters.
NHS 111 makes it easier for you access local health services. You will be assessed, given advice and directed to a local health service that can help you best, which might include an out of hours doctor, pharmacist, dentist or hospital emergency department.
The accident and emergency departments at Northampton and Kettering Hospitals provide care only for people with serious injury or illness and do not provide routine medical care.
18:30 – 21:30 weekdays, 09:00 – 17:00 weekends
There are now more bookable GP and Nurse appointments available for Northampton patients, making it easier for you to be seen at a time that suits you including evenings, weekends and Bank Holidays.
Enhanced Access is an extension of your usual GP practice, it is not a walk-in-service, and you will need to make an appointment through your usual GP Practice reception.
You will be offered a face to face, Telephone or Video consultation, depending on your clinical need.
To make an appointment at Northampton GP Enhanced Access Service please call your surgery on 01604 633682
The service is located on the ground floor of Highfield Clinical Care Centre, Cliftonville Rd., Northampton NN1 5BD. (ENTRANCE B)
