Out-of-Hours Services
If you need a doctor after the surgery is closed, ring the surgery number and you will be transferred automatically to Staffordshire Doctors Urgent Care. Please have the patient's name, address, telephone number and a description of the problem ready when you ring. You will be asked to attend the Leek Moorlands Hospital on Ashbourne Road, Leek or a centre in Stoke; have a pen or paper ready to write down the details.
If you feel your emergency is serious, ie severe bleeding, chest pain suggesting a heart attack or severe shortness of breath, ring 999 and request an ambulance. If you suspect a broken bone or need stitches make your own way directly to the hospital.
