All after hours weeknight calls (which are not onerous) are covered by the Swansea doctors, with all calls going direct to May Shaw Nursing Home to be triaged by the nursing staff. The weekend on-call is shared between the doctors from Swansea, plus occasionally doctors from the neighbouring town of Bicheno and locums.
