Enhanced access appointments are available Wednesday 6:30am to 8pm in Glemsford and 9am to 5pm in Bury St Edmunds on Saturday's. 

These appointments can be booked by our reception team and are face to face appointments.

Please note the times and days of the above surgeries may vary.

Suffolk GP+ is for people who urgently need a doctor’s appointment or are unable to see their GP during normal GP hours.

Appointments can be made via reception during our usual opening hours. Please note that patients cannot refer themselves to this service.

The service is staffed by local Suffolk GPs and Nurse Practitioners in Bury St Edmunds, Haverhill, Ipswich, Felixstowe, Stowmarket, Leiston and Wickham Market and is an NHS service delivered by the Suffolk GP Federation.

You will be given a booked appointment and will be seen by a suitable local GP or nurse who will have access to your medical records (once consent is given).

We are CLOSED weekdays before 08:00 and after 18:30, EVERY UK bank holiday and weekends (including Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day).  During these times,  call 111 who will put your call through to the out-of-hours provider for Suffolk. If you call the normal surgery number you will be automatically redirected (our telephone lines open at 08:30). 

Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
