Monday - Friday: Please note the practice is staffed from 08:00 for telephone calls and emergency contact but the doors do not open until 08:10. The doctors start consulting at 08:45 and the practice nurses start consulting their walk-in surgery at 08:30 unless otherwise stated. 

When the surgery is closed telephone 111, which is a free phone number which includes free to mobile users. Your call will go direct to the out-of-hours emergency service which will put you in contact with the appropriate service. The appropriate service will be able to give you advice, arrange an appointment at Banbury Hospital or a home visit if required.

We hold an emergency Saturday morning surgery 09:00 – 10:00, you must arrive before 10:00. It is also possible to pre-book an appointment for Saturday morning, please see below.

Routine consultations for patients, who are unable to attend the surgery during the advertised weekday hours, can also be arranged for a Saturday morning. Please contact reception to book. These appointments must be booked during the previous week. It should be noted that it will not be possible to take blood samples or carry out diagnostic tests which are normally carried out by the practice nurse during these appointments, as there will not be a nurse on duty.
