Please order your repeat prescription 7 days in advance of when it is required.
This is to allow the GP Practice and Community Pharmacy to process your prescription to ensure you do not run out of medication when we are closed.

During lunch time the practice provides an emergency service only

The practice periodically closes for one afternoon in the month (usually a Wednesday) so that the entire practice team can attend training and educational sessions. During such closures emergency medical cover continues to be provided for our patients. Full details of the relevant contact information are displayed in the practice’s reception area, and contained in a telephone answering message which operates for the duration of the closure.

When We Are Closed: Call Dalriada Urgent Care (DUC) on: 028 2566 3500

Outside surgery opening times patients requiring emergency medical care should telephone Dalriada Urgent Care (DUC) on 028 2566 3500. Please use the Out-of-Hours Service responsibly and consider whether the problem can wait for the practice to reopen.

Except in cases of emergency, please reserve consultations for normal surgery hours. Inappropriate use of the Out-of-Hours service may mean that seriously ill people will experience a delay in receiving the emergency medical help needed.

There is no casualty service offered at the Health Centre. Patients with suspected fractures should go directly to the Emergency Department at Antrim Hospital for assessment.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
