OUT-OF-HOURS EMERGENCY GP SERVICE

When the surgery is closed telephone 111 for the out of hours service. They will be able to give you advice or get a doctor to phone you back. The doctor will decide if you need a home visit or if you can come and see a doctor or emergency care practitioner at the Out of Hours centre at Shotley Bridge.
