Out of Hours Service

For urgent advice after the surgery has closed, during the night and at weekends ring the surgery and your call will automatically be diverted to Suffolk Doctors On Call. The doctor will be able to give telephone advice and, if appropriate, offer consultation at the Emergency Centre (Riverside Clinic, Unit 4, Landseer Road – opposite the Cliff Lane turn off and adjacent to the Brewery Tap Pub). Should the doctor feel it necessary, a home visit will be arranged.
