How Do I.?

The practice is no longer responsible for providing out of hours care. At weekends, evenings and at night, emergency GP cover is provided by HantsDoc who have been commissioned to provide out of hours services by the North Hampshire Primary Care Trust (NHPCT). HantsDoc provides telephone advice, consultations at their base and home visits. The HantsDoc base is situated in the Fracture Clinic next to the Accident and Emergency Department at The North Hampshire Hospital. Phone calls are initially taken by a call handler who then arranges for a nurse or GP to call you back.

HantsDoc is in general manned by local doctors from all practices in the Basingstoke area including Oakley and Overton.

At all times that the surgeries are closed phone calls to the surgery will be automatically transferred to HantsDoc.

• HantsDoc telephone number is: 0118 9365592
   
• In case of serious emergency at all times dial 999 and ask for an ambulance.
