OUT-OF-HOURS CALLS

The practice is a member of Lincolnshire Primary Care Trust's out-of-hours service.

If you need a doctor in an emergency between 6.30pm and 8.00am weekdays and from 6.30pm on Fridays to 8.00am Mondays, please telephone 111 or ring the practice line 01406 362081 for advice on how to contact emergency out-of-hours cover.

After your details have been taken, the doctor on call will contact you and assess your problem. You may be given advice or asked to come and see the doctor at the nearest emergency out-of-hours.

If the on-call doctor feels your condition is critical, an ambulance may be dispatched immediately.

The out-of-hours service is for MEDICAL EMERGENCIES only and all minor, routine or non-urgent matters should be dealt with during normal surgery hours.

At night and weekends in the case of a medical emergency you may need to contact a doctor. Your phone call will automatically be diverted to the emergency doctors call centre where your details will be taken. If for any reason you cannot get through to the emergency call centre dial 999 or attend the nearest casualty department.
