Visits
If you need to see a doctor and really don’t think there is any way
you can get to the surgery, please telephone 01242 580644 as early in the day
as possible. It helps the doctors to plan home visits if your requests could
be made before 10.30am. Any medical information you can give to our staff is
helpful to the doctors, as a visit may not be clinically necessary. A doctor
will call you back to discuss the best way to treat the problem.
Out of Hours
01242 580644
When the Medical Centre is closed the Underwood Surgery may be open.
Please phone 01242 520022 if you require a surgery appointment or 01242
580644 for a visit or in an emergency.
When both surgeries are closed the emergency telephone line 580644 will be
automatically diverted to the Out of Hours Service 08454 220220. An Ambulance
Operator will ask for your name and a description of the problem that you
have. Please only use this service for urgent problems or emergencies.
Please be ready to give your name, date of birth, address, telephone
number and details concerning your problem.
A doctor will then phone you back to discuss your difficulty. You may be
given advice, asked to attend the Primary Care Centre or a doctor may visit
you.
