If you are running late, please contact the surgery as soon as you can. We will try to make every effort possible to still see you, but this may not always be possible.

When We Are Closed

Out of Hours Service

For urgent advice after the surgery has closed, during the night and at weekends please telephone the Out of Hours Service on 111.

The doctor will be able to give telephone advice and, if appropriate, offer consultation at the Emergency Centre. Should the doctor feel it necessary, a home visit will be arranged.

NHS 111

You can also contact NHS 111 which is a 24 hour advice line on 111 or their online service at www.111.nhs.uk

NHS 111 Online is a website providing high quality health information and advice. It is unique in being supported by a 24 hour nurse advice and information helpline. If you use NHS 111 and are in any doubt about information you read or about what action you should take, you can call NHS 111.

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

Extended Hours

The practice offers clinics on Saturday mornings. This is to support patients who have difficulty coming during the day, such as night workers or those who are commuting daily.

To aide with this we also offer some early morning telephone appointments.

GP + Service

At peak times you may be offered an appointment with the GP+ service based at Riverside Clinic in Ipswich. This service is available to registered patients in the evening and at weekends and is an extension of the usual service provided to you by Barrack Lane Medical Centre. 

We will arrange for you to be seen by a clinician who has access, with your, consent, to your medical records and who will keep your usual GP fully informed of any diagnosis and treatment provided. The Riverside Clinic is located at 2 Landseer Road, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP3 0AZ.

Please note: the Riverside Clinic is NOT a walk-in Centre and GP+ appointments can only be arranged via the practice or the 111 (Out of Hours) service
