Non-urgent advice: New Extended Hours HUB
Due to contractual changes by NHS England, practices now have to form groups for extended access to their patients, Ashfield Surgery has joined with other local surgeries to form a HUB to meet these requirements.
The HUB is held at Ashfurlong Medical Centre, 233 Tamworth Road, Sutton Coldfield, B75 6DX. These appointments (Mon-Fri 6.30-8.00pm; Sat & Sun 9am-2pm; Bank Holidays 9.30am – 12.30pm) are for routine problems and you can book into these by calling our appointments line.
These appointments are not for Urgents or Emergencies – this service remains with our current out of hours provider- Badger or NHS111.
Non-urgent advice: When We Are Closed
Out-of-hours cover for the surgery is provided by the BADGER co-operative, a service run by local GP’s. Advice, consultations or home visits are provided as appropriate. Consultations at BADGER are strictly by appointment only.
BADGER Tel: 0300 555 9999
6:30pm to 8:30am weekdays and all weekends and Bank Holidays.
Wednesday from 1:00pm
Thursdays from 2:00pm. Our lines are still open for General Enquiries on this day.
NHS 111
When to use it:
You should use the NHS 111 service if you urgently need medical help or advice but it’s not a life-threatening situation.
Call 111 if:
– you need medical help fast but it’s not a 999 emergency
– you think you need to go to A&E or need another NHS urgent care service
– you don’t know who to call or you don’t have a GP to call
– you need health information or reassurance about what to do next
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.
In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
