At evenings and weekends the emergency doctor service should only be contacted in the event of a problem that cannot safely wait until the surgery reopens.
If you call the surgery for an out of hours emergency, have a pen and paper ready, as you will be asked by our recorded message to dial a second telephone number - the Lincolnshire Emergency Doctors Service. The operator will pass your details immediately to a triage doctor who will call you back. The doctor may offer telephone advice, an appointment at the GP Primary Care Centre at Pilgrim Hospital or a home visit. Do not attend the Centre without calling first.
Please use the ‘out-of-hours’ service for genuinely urgent problems only - don’t delay our ability to respond quickly to life-threatening events.
Call 999 in an emergency. Chest pains and/or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
