GP Stories - Calories in, calories out

Out of hours is a service that provides primary care when the normal GPs have closed, so is usually available after 18:30 on weekdays and all the weekends. It is also available on bank holidays if the GP surgeries are closed (which is most of the time but during Covid, GP surgeries have had to stay open for 2 of the bank holidays). Ideally issues that are dealt with are ones that are more urgent that can't wait until you see your regular GP, not a long term issue that requires investigations or referrals.
