Medical card and GP visit card

Practical questions

Can I book an appointment online?
You can send an appointment request through the site, and registered patients aged 18 and over can request a remote GP consultation online; reception then confirms the time. For an urgent appointment phone 097 82434.
Can I get a blood test without being a patient of the practice?
Yes. The phlebotomy clinic runs Monday to Friday from 8:50am to 12 noon and takes both registered and non-registered patients.
Does the practice accept medical cards?
The site refers to medical card and GP visit card holders for the HSE chronic disease programme and separates medical card holders from private patients on the prescription form. It does not say whether the practice is taking new medical card patients.
How do I order a repeat prescription?
Use the online form or phone 097 82434 with at least 48 hours notice, naming the medicines and your pharmacy. Private patients pay 20 euro for a one month renewal or 40 euro for five months.
