What happens when I call the out of hours service?
You will be answered by a call handler who will help to assess your need before deciding best what to do. Telephone calls to the services are recorded for security and training purposes.
Please remember that using the out of hours GP service is also about you helping us to serve as many people as we can in the most appropriate and time efficient way. Please bear this in mind, and use the service ONLY if you genuinely feel you cannot wait to see your own GP.
