Out of hours
Emergencies
When our surgeries are closed, emergency medical care is provided by the PCT's Out of Hours service known as Snowdoc (Tel No 01327 702215). Many of the doctors in local practices continue to work out of hours, along with nurses and other health professionals, to provide this service that is for medical problems that cannot wait until the surgery re-opens. Please use it appropriately. You may be offered advice over the telephone by a doctor or a nurse, an appointment to attend a surgery at the Out of Hours base in Daventry, or if the doctor considers it necessary a home visit.
Our surgery answering machines always list the Out of Hours contact numbers.
Please note
NHS Direct (Tel No 0845 4647) is always available for health information and simple health advice. Phone them if you are unsure whether your problem is serious enough for contact with a doctor.
