What Can a Doctor on Call Help With?
The type of care provided depends on your symptoms and clinical assessment.

A doctor may assess your condition and recommend appropriate treatment, medication, testing or further medical care where required.
A home consultation is not suitable for every medical situation. If your symptoms indicate a serious emergency, seek emergency medical care rather than waiting for a routine home consultation.
