We are able to offer patients this service with Taurus Healthcare Ltd which is a GP Federation set up by the GPs of Herefordshire to provide additional medical services to patients & have access to your medical record.  

This means that all Herefordshire patients will have access to a Primary Care Service offering both GP, Nurse, Health Care Assistant and MSK (Remote Physio)  appointments 6pm and 8pm weekdays and 8am to 8pm weekends.

The hub locations are in Ledbury, Bromyard, Leominster and Hereford. 

To book an appointment at any of the hubs you can either: 

phone 0800 121 7221;

or contact the surgery in the normal way and we can book an appointment for you (between 8am & 6pm Mon-Fri);

or contact NHS 111 by phoning 111 and asking for a Taurus appointment.

Outside of normal surgery hours you can call 111 when you need medical help fast but it’s not a 999 emergency.  NHS 111 is a fast and easy way to get the right help, whatever the time.

NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Calls are free from landlines and mobile phones.

You should use the NHS 111 service if you urgently need medical help or advice but it's not a life-threatening situation.

Call 111 if:

• You need medical help fast but it's not a 999 emergency.
• You think you need to go to A&E or need another NHS urgent care service.
• You don't know who to call or you don't have a GP to call.
• You need health information or reassurance about what to do next.

How does it work?

The NHS 111 service is staffed by a team of fully trained advisers,  supported by experienced nurses. They will ask questions to assess your symptoms, then give you the healthcare advice you need or direct you straightaway to the local service that can help you best. That could be A&E, an out-of-hours doctor, a walk-in centre or urgent care centre, a community nurse, an emergency dentist or a late-opening chemist.

Where possible, the NHS 111 team will book you an appointment or transfer you directly to the people you need to speak to. If you need an ambulance, one will be sent just as quickly as if you had dialled 999.

If a health professional has given you a specific phone number to call when you are concerned about your condition, continue to use that number.

Typetalk or textphone

If you have difficulties communicating or hearing, you can use the NHS 111 service through a textphone by calling 18001 111.

Calls are connected to the TextDirect system and the textphone will display messages to tell you what is happening. A Typetalk Relay Assistant will automatically join the call. They will talk back what you've typed to the NHS 111 adviser and, in return, type back the adviser’s conversation, so you can read it on your textphone's display or computer. 

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

111 online is a fast and convenient alternative to the 111 phone service and provides an option for people who want to access 111 digitally. 

Your needs will be assessed and you will be given advice about whether you need:

• Treat yourself at home
• Go to a Primary Care Centre

If you need face to face medical attention you may be asked to attend a Primary Care Centre.

We make every effort to make the surgery accessible for disabled patients. There is access through the main door and we have a wheelchair available for use in surgery.

Hearing Difficulties

If you are experiencing hearing difficulties when being called in to see the doctor or nurse, please do let us know in order for us to set up an alert on your medical records and personally collect you from the waiting room. Alternatively, we do have the facility of a portable induction loop. If you would like to use this, please ask at reception for assistance.
