We work with professionals across Devon to improve the out-of-hours experience for patients receiving palliative care, and their carers. We give urgent priority to all calls for palliative care patients. This means that a GP or nurse will endeavour to telephone within 20 minutes and visit (if appropriate) within one hour.
If you do have a dental practice you can attend, please contact them the next working day. If you have swelling affecting your breathing, or severe trauma, you can go to the nearest emergency department.
