Emergencies And Out Of Hours

In an emergency please telephone 01489 576708. This will connect you with the surgery and advise you, on a recorded message, of the number to ring to contact the out-of-hours service. This is provided by Portsmouth PCT Out-of-hours Service, operating from Drayton. There will be a doctor on duty weekdays from 6.30pm until 8.00am the following morning and at weekends from 6.30pm Friday until 8.00am on Monday morning. If you require medical assistance, the service can provide either telephone advice, an opportunity to visit a doctor at a surgery at Gosport War Memorial or a home visit in appropriate circumstances.
