News

We currently offer face to face appointments and routine telephone calls, which can all be booked in advance.  A small number of calls are available each day by calling the practice from 8.30am.  These calls are very limited and we highly encourage all our patients to book a call in advance unless they need on the day medical advice.  

You can help in not over burdening your GP practice in small ways:

* Only phone your GP when self-management has not worked and medical advice is needed.

* Tap into community pharmacy services for non-urgent conditions.

* Always cancel appointments when you no longer need them.

 

Belfast Trust now offers a phone first service.  Please see the website for more details.
