Out Of Hours
Out-of-hours is between 6.30pm
and 8.30am Monday to Friday and at weekends and bank holidays. If you are unwell
during this time Call the Emergency Care Service on 0845 600 1013.
This service is for urgent medical reasons - if you or your family becomes ill
and you are concerned. It is not for routine enquiries such as booking an appointment
with your GP, repeat prescriptions, test results, etc.
When you ring the Dorset Emergency Care Service your call will go through to
a call centre in St Leonard's, Dorset. A trained member of staff will answer
the phone and take some details from you. They will pass on your details straight
over to a doctor or nurse who will ring you back to ask you more about the problem
and, with you, will decide on the best option for you.
Depending on the seriousness of your condition, this might be: advice over the
phone, a visit to a local treatment centre, or a home visit by a nurse, doctor
or paramedic.
