Surgery Times

Much Wenlock is open Monday to Friday between 8.30am - 6.00pm.

Cressage is open throughout the week between 8.30am - 12.30pm and 2.00 - 6.00pm, but closing on Fridays at 12.30pm.

The doctors work on a rota system across both surgeries. Details of which days they are on duty are shown on the following tables (although this sometimes changes subject to holidays etc).

GP Availability

Patients are able to request a preference as to which practitioner they wish to see when making an appointment and, whilst the practice will endeavour to comply with such a request, it might not always be possible. In that event an explanation would be given.

Out of Hours

NHS 111 provide cover for our patients during weekday evenings/nights and throughout weekends and bank holidays.

To contact the out-of-hours service dial 0333 222 6655 (this number will also be given out if you call either surgery).

Patients requiring stitches or with suspected broken bones are advised to go directly to the A & E department at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital or Princess Royal Hospital.

For immediate paramedic assistance dial 999.

Emergencies

Every effort will be made to see anyone who is especially unwell straight away. If you think the problem is an emergency, please let the reception staff know. Emergency appointments are available, at the discretion of the duty doctor, at the end of each afternoon surgery (for any problems that cannot wait until the next day). A doctor is available throughout the day and an immediate consultation can be arranged in the event of an emergency.
