Being part of the Derbyshire Dales Pripary Care (DDPC) network allows us to offer extended access for evening and weekend appointments working together with other local practices.
These are available between 18:30 – 20:00 and at the weekend 09:00 – 12:00. (Times may differ for other local practices)
To help support these changes we will no longer be booking appointments at the reception desk before 8am. Please do not attend the surgery to book an appointment before 8am.
The surgery will be closed on these dates from 12:00 for training on the following dates:
When the surgery is closed, any calls to the surgery number (01629 581586) will be forwarded to the out of hours medical service, Derbyshire Health Care United, with clinics in Chesterfield, Derby, and various other places throughout the county.
Depending on the nature of the problem you may be offered telephone advice, an appointment at an out of hours centre, or a home visit from an appropriate health professional.
