Spinney Brook Medical Centre

OUT OF HOURS EMERGENCIES

During the night, weekend and Bank Holidays when the surgery is closed, you have a choice. If you wish to speak to an emergency doctor, please phone Nenedoc on 03336 664664. Nenedoc is not a walk-in service, you must phone first.

Please note that all telephone conversations with Nenedoc are recorded.

If you simply require health information or advice, NHS Direct, a 24 hour nurse-led advice line, is available on 0845 46 47. You can also visit their website at www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk They will give advice on many medical and family matters.

A & E cases

If you feel you have an acute emergency and your problem needs more urgent treatment, you may need to go to Accident and Emergency at Kettering General Hospital.

Emergencies Include:

• Severe chest pains
• Severe breathing difficulty
• Suspected broken bones
• Heavy bleeding
• Deep wounds (e.g. stab wounds)
• Swallowing something harmful or poisonous

If you have a medical problem out of hours (at night, evening or at the weekend) that cannot safely wait until the next working day, call Nenedoc on 03336 664664
