Alternatively you may telephone NHS 24 on directly on 111.
NHS 24 is not a walk-in service and you need to telephone them if you require their services. You can access the NHS website on www.nhs24.com

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.
