Hi @Pommy8
I had my surgery in the private hospital but my surgeon gave me his nurses number if I needed it for anything urgent after I was discharged .
He also said if it was after hours I could present to the adjoining public hospital where he also operated and ask to speak to his registrar.
I did end up doing that on a Sunday night as I had an issue which ended up not being serious but it was good to know I could do that .
So if you are sufficiently worried and it is a medical issue you could present to the hospital .
I know it’s hard as most Doctors ( and many other people) take holidays not only between Xmas and New Year but into January .
There will always be someone qualified covering at the public hospital however.
Take care.
