Out of hours medical service for all
practices in Cornwall is now provided by
Kernow Urgent Care Services. This
operates between 6.30pm and 8am weekdays
and 24 hrs weekends and Bank holidays. |
As of April 1st 2006 the out of hours
medical service for all practices in
Cornwall is provided by Kernow Urgent
Care Services, run by Serco Health. This
operates between 6.30pm and 8am weekdays
and 24 hrs weekends and Bank holidays.
The doctors working for the service are
a mixture of local GPs and other
Doctors, with a few Nurse Practitioners
working some shifts.
The main facilities are:
• Primary Care Centres, most of which
are based in Community Hospitals
offering consultations by appointment.
• A fleet of emergency cars fully fitted
with medical and communication equipment
and manned by fully trained drivers.
• A communications centre staffed by
experienced telephonists and doctors to
deal with enquiries and "triage"
(prioritise) requests for emergency
help. All visit requests are discussed
with a Doctor.
• Emergency Dental Service on the Truro
site at certain times. (This is not a
Kernow Urgent Care service)
• Good links with other support
services.
Patients contacting the service out of
hours will speak to a telephonist who
will take details then offer an
appointment at a Clinic, or if telephone
advice or a visit is requested will
arrange for the Doctor to phone back.
Please note that all calls are recorded
for audit and training purposes, and for
your protection. |
