Your local Pharmacist
Your local pharmacist will be able to give you free health advice at any time– you don't need an appointment. Many pharmacies operate extended hours on a rota basis.
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.
