RESIDENTS who need to contact a doctor over the Christmas period can call Emdoc, a scheme aimed at aiding the sick over public holidays.

The scheme is the only out-of -hours service run by Bromley GPs, for Bromley GPs.

Patients in urgent need of a doctor should call their surgery and they will be given the Emdoc number. Medical assistance will be provided, with a possible waiting period.

l See page 21 for a list of Bromley borough chemists open over Christmas and the New Year.
