If you fall ill at night or during the weekend and are too ill to wait until the surgery opens, our out of hours emergency medical services for our patients are provided by Birmingham & District GP Emergency Room (BADGER), who can be contacted on 0300 555 9999. This is staffed by local GPs and has a base at Good Hope Hospital, Heartlands Hospital and Solihull Hospital up to 11.00pm. There is also a base at BADGER, 121 Glover Street, Birmingham B9 4EY which is manned 24hrs.

NHS 111 is also available to provide advice and information. You should call the NHS 111 service if you need medical help fast, but it’s not a 999 emergency.

You can also contact the local community pharmacies, NHS Walk-in Centre located at Boots Chemist, 66 High Street, (Opposite Marks & Spencer), Birmingham which is open Monday to Saturday 8.00am – 8.00pm and Sunday 11.00am – 5.00pm and also Erdington Health and Wellbeing Walk-in Centre located at 196 High Street, Erdington, which is open daily from 8.00am until 8.00pm, and can be contacted on 0121 686 8010.
