How the service works
The GP out-of-hours service is for all ages.
It is by appointment only. There is no walk-in service.

When you phone the service they will take your details, such as:
- name and date of birth
- address and phone number
- a description of the medical issue
- your medical card or GP visit card number, if you have one
Your call will be referred to a triage nurse. They will phone you back. Keep your phone line free so you do not miss their call.

This could be:
- advice from the nurse or a GP

How much it costs
