Out of Hours
If you want general healthcare advice at any time, 24 hours a day, contact NHS Direct on 0845 46 47 (local rate) and speak to a trained nurse adviser, or visit http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk
Out of hours GP services are arranged by North Tyneside Primary Care Trust and are provided by qualified doctors and nurses. You may receive telephone advice from a doctor or be asked to attend a local primary care centre for an examination. If, for medical reasons, travel is impossible, a home visit from a doctor can be arranged.
For out of hours services please telephone 0300 123 4343.
You should only dial 999 for an ambulance in a life threatening emergency or serious accident.
