INFORMATION

when your surgery is closed.
You
must always contact your surgery first to find out if it is open
and to obtain the telephone number of the out-of-hours service.
WHO
ARE WE ?
The Association
of North Warwickshire and District Doctors-on-Call Limited, known
as `NEWDOC', is a non-profit making company which provides an URGENT
out-of-hours service for the patients of some of the GPs who practise
in Nuneaton & Bedworth, North Warwickshire and the Hinckley
area of Leicestershire. Because not all local GPs use NEWDOC for
their out-of-hours calls, you should check with your own GPs surgery
before you use NEWDOC. This is because NEWDOC can only normally
take calls from the patients of its GP members, unless you are a
temporary resident or visitor to the area and are not registered
with a local GP. NEWDOC's duty doctors are all local GPs in current
practice. We never use agency or locum doctors.
This website has been designed to tell you about the practice and
the services that we offer. Please read it carefully. We trust that
you will find it helpful and informative.
The practice would like to thank the various advertisers who have helped to produce this Website. However, it must be pointed out that the accuracy of any statements cannot be warranted, nor any products or services advertised, be guaranteed or endorsed.
