A doctor on call is for emergencies only. Please give details requested by reception so that these can be passed to the doctor on call who will ring you back. Or ring NHS Direct on 0845 4647.

After hours, your doctor is like any other emergency service, so please only call your doctor at night if your problem really cannot wait until the morning.
