Out Of Hours Service

This is for EMERGENCIES ONLY. Covered by 'Local care direct'.

REMEMBER that the doctor you call out in the evening or middle of the night will have worked all the day before and will be working the next day so please confine your calls to genuine emergencies.

NB: The doctors use mobile phones for their 'on call' work which enables them to operate with increased efficiency. This means that patients can speak directly to the doctor in most cases.

Make sure you have enough money if you are calling from a phone-box - it is a little more expensive to ring a mobile phone than a land line.

To contact a doctor out of hours ALWAYS telephone the surgery first and the answering machine will give the number of the duty doctor.
