WEEKEND
AND NIGHT COVER
From 6.00pm - 8.30am each evening, plus all day Saturday, Sunday
and Bank Holidays. The Health and Social Care Board (HSCB)
is responsible for providing out-of-hours care in our area and has
commissioned Western Urgent Care to provide this service. This service is for
emergencies only. The service is based in the outpatients Department at Altnagelvin
Hospital and patients may be asked to go there. Patients may be asked to come
to the health centre for treatment if a house call is not considered appropriate.
It is essential that patients ring Western Urgent Care before attending at the
out-of-hours base. The number is:
(028) 7186 5195.
•
Please remember, this is an emergency service. There is a limited
number of doctors on-call covering the city at any one time. It is important
therefore that non-urgent calls should NOT be made to this out-of-hours
service.
DISABLED
ACCESS
At the health centre we have car parking spaces reserved for the
disabled. Wheelchair access to the building is via the ramp at the front
of the building. All patient services are provided at ground floor level.
A disabled patients' WC is also on the ground floor. If access is difficult
for any of our disabled patients, we would be happy to consider any
suggestions for improvement.
