The Out of Hours Service should only be used if you have a medical emergency that cannot wait until the next working day to be treated.
The Hull GP Out of Hours Service operates between the hours of 6.30pm and 8.00am, Monday to Friday, plus throughout weekends and Bank Holidays.
The service is available for people who live in Hull or who are registered with a Hull GP practice via NHS 111.
Please ring 111.
NHS ‘111’ is the number to call for patients requiring medical advice when it’s less urgent than 999.
Calls to NHS 111 from landlines and mobile phones are FREE and the service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to respond to health care needs when:
• you need medical help fast, but it’s not a 999 emergency
• you don’t know who to call for medical help or you don’t have a GP to call
• you think you need to go to A&E or another emergency care service, or
• you require health information or reassurance about what to do next
Calls to NHS 111 are handled by a team of highly trained call advisors, supported by experienced doctors and nurses who use a database of all health care services available to people in Hull.
