CHANGES TO OUT OF HOURS GP SERVICES
From 1st January 2005, there will be some changes to health services in the Caithness area when your GP Surgery is closed. Until that time, you should continue to contact your GP’s existing Out of Hours service. Please note that these changes do not apply to patients of the GP in Dunbeath, who will continue to be covered by their own GP surgery.
HOW TO ACCESS HEALTH SERVICES WHEN YOUR GP SURGERY IS CLOSED
For a life threatening emergency you should still call 999. This is unchanged. If you need health advice or care when your GP surgery is closed call NHS24 on 08454 24 24 24 – the care you need is a phone call away.
