When The Surgery Is Closed
Out-of-hours services are provided by North West Belfast Urgent Care. They exist to provide urgent or emergency treatment for patients at night or weekends. This is not a walk-in service. You or your relatives must phone (028) 9074 4447 first. A doctor will return your call promptly and then speak to you or your relative and decide on the best action to take. This may mean that you will be offered telephone advice, asked to visit the centre within the Mater Hospital site, or a home visit will be made if considered necessary by the GP. The Health and Social Care Board is now responsible for providing out-of-hours services. The contact details for the HSCB can be found on the Useful Contacts page.
