Out of Hours
If you need to contact a doctor urgently at night or at the weekends please phone 028 3839 9201. Please do not use this service for non-urgent problems or problems that can wait until the next normal surgery day.
When you telephone the out-of-hours number a telephonist will answer your call asking for the patient’s name, address, age, return phone number and name of their own doctor. Please be prepared to provide some details of the problem to indicate its urgency.
On speaking to the doctor you may be offered advice, a centre consultation or a home visit depending on the problem.
In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
