There is always a doctor on call for emergencies. When making an emergency call, try to remain calm and give as much information as you are able. If using a call box, please have several coins available.
If you are unwell in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, contact:
The Dorset Emergency Care Service on 0845 600 10 13 .
This service is for urgent medical situations – if you, or a member of your family, become 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 the 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 your details straight over to a doctor who will ring you back to ask you more about the problem and, with you, will decide 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
NHS Direct can give you general medical information 24 hours a day. Their trained nurses can provide you with expert health advice and reassurance any time of the day or night. Please call them on 08 45 46 47.
