1. Which symptoms should I contact the out-of-hours GP practice about?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you urgently need a GP in the evening, at night or during the weekend? You can contact us for an appointment on weekdays from 17.00 till 8.00 and in weekends from Friday 17.00 till Monday 8.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Urgent symptoms are health symptoms which can\u2019t wait until you can visit your own GP the next working day.
For example, worsening shortness of breath<\/strong>, paralysis symptoms<\/strong>, severe pain<\/strong>, a seriously ill child<\/strong> or an accident at home<\/strong>. Or if you\u2019re concerned enough to want to request medical advice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Always call for an apointment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You always need to call<\/strong> for an appointment first. The out-of-hours GP practice is only available to pati\u00ebnts with urgent symptoms<\/strong> in the evening, at night, during the weekend or on public holidays<\/strong>. You should go and see your own GP the next working day if your symptoms are not urgent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. What information will the out-of-hours GP practice need from me when I call?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The following is some of the pati\u00ebnt information the triage assistant will need from you:
If you\u2019re calling on behalf of someone else, then you\u2019ll also need to have this information to hand for that person.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
