Practice Closures

The practice temporarily closes on Thursdays between 12:00 & 14:00 to facilitate staff training and education.

Extended Access

There are Extended Access appointments for routine care available at Park Surgery, One Life.  These are provided by Central Middlesbrough PCN.  These are available Monday to Friday 18:00 - 20:00 and Saturday 09:00 - 17:00.  If you would like to book one of these appointments please speak to a receptionist. 

When We Are Closed

If you need to see or speak to a GP on a bank holiday, over the weekend or between the hours of 18:00 and 08:00 Monday to Friday then please ring NHS 111.  This number is available on the practice answerphone, out of hours, on 01642 245069.

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.
