When We Are Closed

The GP out of hours service provides urgent care for people in Belfast when their usual GP surgery is closed.

GP out of hours is not a replacement for normal GP services. It is there for people with serious problems that require urgent treatment. You should only use this service if you are suddenly ill and cannot wait until your GP surgery opens.
