The new Out of Hours telephone number
From 1 June the phone number for the Out of Hours doctor’s service during evenings and weekends will be changing to 0300 300 2012. This number is charged at the local rate from a BT landline.
Run by Solent NHS Trust, the Out of Hours service provides urgent medical care for the residents of New Forest, Winchester, Eastleigh and Test Valley, Gosport, Havant and Fareham, Southampton and Portsmouth areas.
The Out of Hours service is manned by trained call handlers, local to Hampshire and so have good knowledge. Callers will be asked questions about their health problem (or that of the person whom they are calling about) and will record the details on a database.
The service operates between:
- Monday to Thursday: 6.30pm – 8.00am
- from 6.30pm Friday until 8am Monday
- the Out of Hours service is also available on Bank Holidays.
Only contact the Out of Hours service if you have a medical problem that cannot wait until your surgery opens.

The information screens are up and running

Changes to our Extended Hours
From 6th June we will be changing the extended hours we offer. This has come about due to a reduction in funding locally for Surgeries to provide a complete service which includes reception beyond 6.30pm. As a result we will only be open late on one weekday night rather than three. We will continue to provide the extended hours service on the last Saturday of each month as usual.
However, we do still intend to offer the same number of additional late appointments that we offer now by getting our doctors to work on the same night. In other words, although our flexibility has been curtailed, our capacity will not change.
