What hours are covered?
HUC provides an EMERGENCY service at
all times when the surgery is
closed. It is available between

and 6.30 Friday until 8.00am

Where are
HUC/STARDOC located?
HUC have a number of bases around
Hertfordshire. The St Albans base is
in the MIU (Minor Injuries Unit) at
St Albans City Hospital. All Out of
Hours calls are answered at the HUC
Headquarters in Welwyn Garden City.
The calls are then passed to a GP,
who will ring you back and decide on
the best course of action – a
telephone consultation, an
attendance at the nearest HUC base
or a home visit.
Who will I be seen by?
All the Doctors working for HUC are
local or Hertfordshire based GPs.
Dr Phillips, Dr Impey and Dr Smith
from The Elms Medical Practice, work
regularly for HUC.
Will my GP be informed?

reported back to their GP the
following working day.
