If you need help while we are closed

In common with all North East Fife GP’s, this Practice is part of the NHS 24 Emergency Care Scheme; further details are available on line at www.nhs24.com. This service is for emergencies, urgent treatment or advice that cannot wait until the surgery opens.

If you need medical help now, use NHS 111 online or Call 111.

NHS 111 online is for people aged 5 and over. Call 111 if you need help for a child under 5.

The telephonist will put you through to a nurse practitioner who will arrange either a telephone or face to face consultation with the duty doctor at the Community Hospital (St Andrews), or have a home visit organised as necessary.   

Details of these contacts are sent to your own doctor.

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.
