Appointments

Booking Appointments with the Doctors

All appointments with GPs and other members of the team are being carried out with initial telephone assessment.

The reception team will ask you a little about your symptoms, these staff are trained to ask certain questions in order to ensure that you receive the appropriate medical care.  Please don't be offended, this is known as care navigation and helps the patient get to the service they will benefit most from.  We appreciate your co-operation with this system.

Face-to-face consultations and home visits will then be arranged as necessary following the telephone assessment. 

We will make every effort to address all requests before 11.00am each day.  After 11.00am the practice can only address urgent issues.

Emergencies

During surgery hours please call the usual number (02830261236). The receptionist will inform the doctor and they will assess your emergency and may arrange emergency hospital admission or an ambulance if this is more appropriate.

Booking Appointments with the Practice Nurses

• Cornmarket - Nurse Malone, Nurse Fitzmaurice and Nurse Conlon run different clinics every day and appointments can be booked via the receptionist.
• Camlough  - At present Nurse Malone is based in Camlough Surgery on a Monday morning.

If you are over the age of 75 or you have not had an appointment with the doctor for three years you may request a health check with a practice nurse or GP

Cancellations

If you cannot attend an appointment for any reason please inform us as soon as possible in order for us to give the slot to someone else.  The Practice has a Did Not Attend policy, which may result in patients being removed from the surgery list.
