The Urgent Care (GP) Out of Hours Service should be used for serious urgent problems that cannot wait until your own GP surgery reopens. Please always phone first on 028 3839 9201 as many patients can be given telephone advice and will not need to attend a centre. Patients who don’t phone first may have to wait longer to be seen or be redirected to a more appropriate service. Please remember to order and collect any essential repeat prescription medications from your daytime GP surgery in advance of the holiday period. GP out of hours will only provide repeat prescriptions in exceptional circumstances.
