Oakley Medical Practice

Opening Times

The Practice is open Monday to Friday 08:00 - 18:00; patients will be seen within these times by appointment only. 

Between 08:00-8:30 we operate an emergency phone only- only call this number if you cannot wait until the main lines open at 08:30. If your call can wait you will be asked to call back after 08:30.

When you contact the practice you will be asked for a brief reason why you need to be seen. This enables us to ensure you are seen by the correct clinician to help with your care.

If you feel your problem can't wait for the next appointment you will be asked to complete a triage form to be reviewed by a clinician.

When We Are Closed

The ‘out of hours’ service for emergencies is provided by Fife Health Board and access to it is made by phoning NHS 24 on 111

NHS 24 is available for advice phone calls at any time by phoning 111. Please note that phone calls to NHS 24 are recorded for security purposes.

For more information about NHS 24 you can visit their website at www.nhs24.com

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.
