Out of hours services

Out of hours services are for urgent medical treatment. You should only contact them if you cannot wait until the next day to be treated.

Out of hours GP services

When your GP practice is closed, you can contact a GP by phoning the out-of-hours service on 03000 242424. The service is available from 6.30pm to 8am Monday to Friday, and at any time during weekends and bank holidays.

Once you have contacted the service, a GP will normally call you back to find out more about the problem. If necessary the GP will then arrange a home visit or ask you to attend an emergency medical centre.
