When We Are Closed
While the Medical Practice is closed overnight, at weekends and on public holidays, Highland Health Board provides an emergency service. This is accessed by calling NHS24 on 111. During Out Of Hours periods an answer phone on the usual Health Centre Number ( 01880 820219) will give the NHS24 number.
In case of accidents the nearest A&E Department is at the Mid Argyll Hospital, Lochgilphead.
The Scottish Ambulance Service maintains 24 hour ambulance cover in Tarbert and in the case of serious emergency it may be appropriate to call them directly on 999.
Further Information is available on the NHS24 website.
Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.
In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
