Practice Information - Out Of Hours Cover

Please note that Dolphins is closed from 6.30pm until 8.00am the following day and from 6.30pm on Friday to 8.00am on Monday. If you require a GP visit outside of our normal hours of service please ring 0300 130 1313. You may be asked to attend an out of hours clinic at another location.

Patients across West Sussex are currently looked after by one Out of Hours service provided by Harmoni. This means that regardless of where a person lives in the county, the same provider will respond to a call providing a seamless service that has no district or borough boundaries.

If you require urgent medical attention when the Practice is closed, call the Out of Hours Service direct on 0300 130 1313 (6.30pm to 8.00am Monday to Friday and 24 hours a day Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays). You will speak to a specially trained call handler who will ask you various questions ie your name, address, registered GP, a contact telephone number and the reason for your call. It is useful to have a pen and paper handy to make notes regarding the information you will be given. 

Please do not use the service for repeat prescriptions, test results or routine GP appointments.
