Can I choose which GP I wish to be seen by?
For routine non urgent appointments, you can of course request your chosen GP. For an urgent appointment, this may not always be possible, so we will offer you our next available appointment with our next available GP.
Why does the receptionist need to ask the nature of my visit ?
Our reception staff are important members of the practice team and it has been agreed that they should ask patients "why they need to be seen"
We have trained our reception staff to ask certain questions to help make sure you receive:
the most appropriate medical care
from the most appropriate health professional,
at the most appropriate time.
Reception staff, like all members of our team, are bound by patient confidentiality.
I'm feeling unwell; can I get a prescription for medication without speaking to a GP?
Unfortunately, this is not possible. A GP would need to speak with you before prescribing any acute medication.
Can i get an extension on my Social Welfare/Work Certificate?
How can i make a complaint?
