When We Are Closed

• Many common illnesses such as coughs and colds can be easily treated by visiting your local pharmacist, who can offer advice on how to look after yourself with rest and over the counter treatments.

• If urgent, call the free NHS 111 number - a trained adviser will offer advice over the phone. If you need to be seen, they will be able to direct you to the best service for you to receive care. This service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is available via the British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter. Visit www.interpreternow.co.uk/nhs111/ for more information.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.  

The Urgent Care Centre is located at:

Whipps Cross University Hospital, Leytonstone, E11 1NR

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.
