Medical cover is provided out of hours by the Primary Care Trust. If you need urgent medical assistance between 6.30pm and 8.00am Monday to Friday or at weekends or on bank holidays, please telephone 0845 408 8000.
Between 8.00-8.30am and 6.00-6.30pm Monday to Friday, please telephone the surgery on 07891 789167. Your name and the name of the patient (if different) and telephone number will be taken and the duty doctor will call you back. The conversation with the out of hour’s service may be recorded.
The NHS Direct (telephone number 0845 46 47) is available 24 hours a day for medical advice from a qualified nurse. Alternatively, you can access the web site at www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk
In addition, the Yeovil Health Centre is open 8.00am to 8.00pm every day including bank holidays. Although patients from Wincanton cannot register there as they do not live within the catchment area, if you need to see a GP when the Wincanton Surgery is closed but during the opening hours of the Yeovil Health Centre, you can go there without an appointment and see a doctor. You do not have to be registered there. Unless you do not wish them to, they will send us information about the consultation for us to include in your medical records held here.
