1800-call-a-doc trial to continue

12/4/2017

Late last year the Quack Chat reported on the free after hours general practitioner (GP) hotline that was to be trialled in country WA over the summer season and end on March 31st. Though due to its popularity, the 1800-call-a-doc trial has been extended and will conclude on June 30, 2017.

The after-hours GP service allows country residents and carers to use their phones and internet to contact GPs for non-serious acute medical problems when their regular GP is not available. Since its inception, the 1800-call-a-doc service has proven useful at peak holiday times and for communities that do not have regular access to a GP.

The after-hours service is available to all people in the Midwest, Goldfields, Wheatbelt, Great Southern and South West. Call 1800 225 523 or visit http://1800calladoc.com.au
