Your guide to NHS opening times OVER CHRISTMAS AND THE NEW YEAR

By making the right choice at the right time you get the best possible treatment. Next time you or a family member are feeling unwell and you are not sure what to do, consider the following treatment options.

Do you need urgent dental care during normal surgery hours?
Contact your surgery during normal opening hours – your dentist will advise you of surgery opening times over the Christmas and New Year period. If the surgery is closed, an answerphone message will advise you what to do if you require urgent care. If, for any reason, you don’t have access to a dentist, then your nearest Dental Access Centre (see below) will provide urgent dental care. If your nearest Centre is closed, please contact the main Dental Access Centre at Gaol Street in Hereford on 01432 378 920 which is open as follows:-
Sat 23 Dec 9.30am-11.30amSun 24 Dec 9.30am-12noonMon 25 Dec 9.30am-12noonTues 26 Dec 9.30am-12noon
