Opening Times

Our receptionists are available at the desk or by telephone between 8.30am and 6.00pm Monday to Friday.
Please note:

• We no longer close between 1.00 and 2.00pm (in response to patients' request).
• That although we now run late surgery appointments one day each week (see section on Appointments), the Reception will still close at 6.00pm for all normal business. Patients needing advice after that time will be automatically redirected to the After Hours Service as usual.

WHEN THE SURGERY IS CLOSED

After 6.00pm each weekday and all day on weekends and public holidays. Occasionally the Surgery will close for essential training during the week and this will be well publicised before each such event.

OUT OF HOURS

Out-of-surgery hours emergencies are now dealt with by the South Devon Co-operative. The doctors from this surgery participate in this co-op rota which covers neighbouring communities in South Devon. If you require a doctor in an emergency out of normal surgery hours, telephone 0845 6710270, which will connect you to Devon Doctors On Call in Exeter www.devondoctors.co.uk. You are advised that this telephone call will be recorded. Your details will then be relayed to the South Devon Co-operative and the duty doctor will then telephone you back and help deal with your problem. The doctor may require you to travel to Newton Abbot Hospital (this is standard procedure) and only in appropriate circumstances will a doctor visit your home. Please give your situation sufficient thought before you use the out-of-hours service - can it wait until the morning?

Disabled Access

There is adequate level parking and our purpose-built premises have facilities for the disabled. The surgery has a limited number of car parking spaces for use by patients. In order that this facility can be used for the convenience of the majority of our patients, you are asked to remove your car as soon as you have concluded your business at the surgery.
