Getting Help Out of Hours.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath / severe bleeding that does not stop constitute an emergency.

If you need a doctor urgently when the surgery is closed, please DIAL 111 and this service will link you to the GP out of hours service delivered by Herts Urgent Care. This service operates from Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon.

Please note that they will be unable to deal with routine Acorn Surgery enquiries and you should telephone the surgery during normal working hours with routine enquiries that are non-urgent.

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.
