help or treatment that cannot wait until a patient's own doctor's surgery
is open. REDDOC should not be used to
provide treatment for routine, recurrent or non-urgent medical requirements. REDDOC can accept calls from patients
who belong to any of its member practices and also from patients who are
temporary residents or who require immediately necessary treatment whilst
they are travelling through the area. Patients who are registered with local
