CONTACTING A DOCTOR OUT OF HOURS/WEEKENDS/BANK/PUBLIC HOLIDAYS

Leicester City Primary Care Trust is responsible for commissioning the out-of-hours service.
Out of surgery hours, your call will diverted to the deputising service (this service can become overloaded unless restricted to URGENT cases).

The duty doctor may be one of the partners or a deputising doctor from the deputising service.

FOR VERY URGENT PROBLEMS REQUIRING AN AMBULANCE PLEASE DIAL 999.
FOR ADVICE ONLY PLEASE DIAL NHS DIRECT ON 0845 4647.

This telephone help line is staffed by specially trained nurses who can give you immediate information and friendly helpful advice on what to do and what not to do. It is a 24-hour service and completely confidential. Calls are charged at local rates.

ACCESS FOR THE DISABLED

Access for disabled patients is available at the front entrance to the surgeries; specially designed toilet facilities are also available. Access is also available here for patients with prams, pushchairs and buggies, although we do request prams etc be left in the lobby area to avoid congestion in the waiting room. Some doctors have consulting rooms upstairs but a room is available downstairs for your consultation if required. If you have difficulty climbing the stairs, please inform the receptionist who will arrange for the doctor to see you in a consulting room downstairs. If you require any further specific help, please ask at reception.

CARE AT YOUR LOCAL PHARMACY SCHEME

Our practice participates in the 'Care at your local pharmacy' scheme. This offers you the chance to see your pharmacist and, if necessary, receive medicines under the NHS for certain problems.

You can drop into any of the participating pharmacists, (contact the receptionist at the surgery for details of the participating pharmacists) or, if more convenient, call in advance for an appointment.

They can see adults and children suffering from the following:

Sore throat, cough, cold or nasal congestion, back pain, sprain or strain, high temperature, headache or earache, vaginal thrush, tummy upset, indigestion or heartburn, diarrhoea, constipation, head lice, chickenpox and hayfever.
