Angry ..Dr's new number is 0844

My dr's number is now 08444 773447. I have googled all the usual sites for an alternative but no luck. It is called Longfleet House Surgery in Poole . Is it also true that one cannot phone these numbers from abroad.In which case it is very dangerous if you fall ill abroad and a foreign dr needs to access your records in UK.
Would be very grateful if anyone can find a geographical number for me as I can't.
And i even asked for it in case we were abroa and they said no but we could have the fax no !:mad:
