Appointments
- How to get an appointment
- Phone reception on 097 81156. Repeat prescriptions, sick certificates, letters and test results are requested through the online services forms rather than by appointment. Clinical questions should not be sent by email or web form.
- New patients
- A limited number of new patients are being accepted; both the medical card and private lists are reviewed regularly. Prospective patients join a waiting list through the online form (one form per adult, children can go on a parent's form), and submitting it does not guarantee a place.
- Out of hours
- Outside surgery hours, local GPs and Westdoc provide cover; phone 097 81156 to get the details of the doctor on duty. Call 999 for life threatening emergencies.
- Medical card and GP visit card
- Medical card and private patients are both seen. Some services are outside the HSE contract and are charged; these are listed on a poster on the fees page.
