Appointment Changes
Due increased demand we have adjusted our appointment system from June 2019. From June, all our routine appointments are available to book online. You will be able to book well in advance as opposed to booking on the day. From now our book on the day appointments will be reserved for Urgent issues which cannot wait. For these appointments, you will be asked why you need seen, this is only to enable our team to facilitate your appointment request appropriately.
We book appointments from 08:30 until 17:00. To make an appointment telephone: 028-28261910
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Treatment Room will be changing to
Appointments Only
As of 1st October 2019
We feel that this will improve our services in a number of ways:-
- Our Admin Teams and Doctors will be able to book/allocate you an appointment directly
- The Nursing Team will be able to spend more time on patient care
- We anticipate waiting times will be reduced
- This will ensure patient safety is maintainedThere will obviously be a transitional period and we would appreciate your patience and understanding during this time
We thank you in advance for your co-operation
These changes are a direct result of the increased workload which is no longer manageable!

There is an Out of Hours Service during evenings and weekends (see below).
