Patients can self refer for covid tests without contacting the surgery or while waiting for a call from the surgery
The link below will bring you to the relevant HSE information for self referral
Due to a shortage of available GPs we are unable to have a set surgery timetables.
Dr Cantwell, Dr Spillane and Dr Halpenny will rotate between the surgeries. 
During holiday periods there may be only two and on some days only one doctor covering both surgeries.
October through to January in particular will be a difficult period.
Please ensure you check you have the correct location and time when you book your appointment.

We understand many patients have a number of complaints that have built up over the  pandemic and cyberattack but it is impossible to deal with long lists and still attend to the numbers requiring an appointment.
​Please consider attending with your most pressing issues only.
