Dunster and Porlock Patients

You are able to contact the Surgery between the hours of 08:00am –18:30pm

When we are closed

In the case of urgent need when the practice is closed you can call 111. Your needs will be assessed and advice offered or arrangements made for you to see a doctor. This service is intended for emergencies only, so please do not ask to see a doctor out of hours unless you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

Call 999 in an emergency. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.

EVENING & WEEKEND APPOINTMENTS

We run pre-booked appointment slots on Tuesday evening after 6.30pm for people whose work commitments mean it's difficult to come at other times.

If you find it difficult to get to the surgery during normal working hours and would like an evening or Saturday morning appointment please speak to a receptionist.

To help improve access to our services Practices across West Somerset work together on a rota basis to provide evening and Saturday morning appointments for our shared patient lists. We regularly provide evening appointments on a Tuesday evening but if one of these appointments does not suit your needs then please speak with a member of our team so that we can help you arrange to be seen at one of the other practices in West Somerset on an evening that we do not provide appointments or on a Saturday morning.

The Practice is part of the West Somerset Primary Care Network comprising of the following practices: 

Dunster & Porlock Surgeries (Dunster),

Exmoor Medical Centre (Dulverton),

Minehead Medical Centre

West Somerset Healthcare (Williton)

with the aim of improving access to primary health care.
