If you don’t use an answering service, the call will find its way to your voice message system. If it’s been awhile since you’ve updated it, use a clinician voicemail script, so you know you’ve covered all the bases in the quick message.
“Hello, you’ve reached the special agent Bond. James Bond. Okay okay, it’s actually [last name]. I’m currently away saving the world on a top-secret mission but I will get back to you as soon as possible. Please leave your name, contact info, number, and availability and I’ll call back as soon as I’m done helping M16. Have a great day. [last name] out!”
The script is relatively similar, but the doctor is including a good reason for not being available, so patients don’t feel like they’re being ignored. He’s also left another avenue for patients to get in touch if they need some urgent help.
“Hello ____. This is _____ again, calling from ______. I ran across some information on a client who made dozens of offers on houses before someone finally accepted one of them. We learned a lot from the experienced and I successfully used the findings to help other homebuyers make bids that were accepted early in the house hunting process. I thought I would share it with you in hopes of saving you time and making it easier for you to purchase the home of your dreams. I’ll email you the information. Give me a call if you would like to review it together. Thank you.”

I could see an argument for relaxing that for mobile voicemail, on the basis that mobile phones are pretty personal and not generally shared by multiple people, but I've no idea whether that may have happened. Or, indeed, whether such policies may vary between organisations within the NHS.
Now repeat that same message in your voicemail using your secondary language. Here, we have chosen Spanish:

Dial your own phone number. When you hear the greeting, press *. Enter your PIN and press #. Alternatively, you can dial 083210. If the phone you're calling from also has voicemail, press ** when you reach the main menu. You'll then be prompted for your mailbox number and PIN. Listen to your messages from overseas. International call charges apply.
The best after hours greetings are brief, direct, and punctual. Do not waste the customer's time and give them a reason to hang up by adding in unnecessary details. The information in your after hours greeting should remain concise and essential to the caller's needs.
-So long as phones can ring and eyes can see, leave a message, and I’ll get back to thee.
Keep callers on the phone with messages on hold. Make announcements while they’re waiting or being transferred.
If you only check and return messages once a day or once a week, let your caller know. This will avoid multiple messages by the same caller.
