The Practice will be open
Monday - Thursday 9:00-17:00
All blood tests are done at the practice premises, GMS patients are given the option to attend the hospital phlebotomy ( blood taking ) service once the Dr has authorized that this is satisfactory and has signed the required blood form, we do not accept that hospital staff organize their own blood results.
It is practice policy that patients phone back for their results, the doctor / nurse / receptionist will advise you on the timeline to contact back in, depending on the test.
Practice policy re follow up on appointment is that if pts haven't heard from consultants, it is not our staffs role to chase this up, please advice the pts to contact the private / public secretaries
The acceptance of new pts is at the discretion of the Dr, subject to terms and conditions , we do not give refusal letters .
Consultations in this practice are 10 min appointments as per HSE guidelines and it' s "one appointment , one problem , one patient " .
If you feel you have more than one complaint than cannot be addressed separately we are here to assist however you need to tell that to our secretary in advance so she books as many slots as per complaints you have and I will explain why that is , in order to keep you safe as well as myself by giving relevant time needed in assessing / examining you with adequate safety netting and to allow time for medication prescribing / referrals to be sent, however this cannot be done in a blood taking slot as this will cause delays in patients that are waiting to go on about their lives and will delay our driver that needs to go to other practices and this will have a bubble effect when reaching the lab and cause delays in bloods analysis and reporting; please keep in mind some people have blood tests that need emergency attention as their life depends on it ( for ex INR , D- Dimers or troponin).
If you have respiratory symptoms please wear a facemask.
Abuse to staff will not be tolerated, aggressive / threatening behaviour may require us to call the Gardai / Police , this is also stated on the practice walls.
Thank you.
