When We Are Closed

When the surgery is closed, please phone the surgery number on 0151 290 4700. Your call will automatically be diverted.

You can then leave a message for the duty doctor. Please be prepared to give the patient’s full details and the problem.

Or call NHS 111

What is 111?

111 is a new telephone service brought to you by the NHS. It is the number you should call when you need advice or medical treatment quickly, and you cannot wait for an appointment to see your doctor.

Please see the NHS 111  leaflet for more information.

Walk-in Centres

You can also attend St Helens Walk in Centre/Minor Injuries in Bickerstaffe Street, St Helens (tel: 01744 627400) between the hours of:

  • 07:00 – 22:00, Monday to Saturday
  • 09:00 – 22:00, Sunday

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.
