If you need help when we are closed

If you need help while are closed, please call 01667 452096. This will put you through to the Primary Care Emergency Centre based at the Nairn Town and County Hospital. This phone line shall be answered by a nurse. The nurse will take some details and either give you advice, contact the doctor, invite you to the hospital or arrange for the doctor to visit you at your home.

Please note that we do not use NHS24, our out of hours service is staffed by doctors from Nairn Healthcare Group.

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.
