Out of Hours
When the surgery is closed - telephone 0844 477 3350 and a recorded message will tell you how to contact the out of hours service and also give you the option of being transferred directly.
The out of hours service is now commissioned by the Eastern Health & Social Services Board to provide a quality service outside normal working hours.
There is always a doctor on call for EMERGENCIES but please remember that this service should be reserved for genuine EMERGENCIES ONLY.
NHS Direct
