Sometimes when you need advice regarding a health problem it may be appropriate to request a telephone call from a doctor. It is important to ring before 10.30 am to make this request. We ask that you provide a number you can be contacted on throughout the morning as it is not possible to make repeated calls to unanswered phone calls.
This service is not available in the afternoon.
HOME VISITS – for patients who are housebound or patients who are too ill to visit the practice.
Should a home visit be necessary, please try to ring the surgery before 10:30am on the same day. This will help the doctor plan his rounds and can avoid unnecessary delays.
Please remember a doctor can see several patients at surgery in the time it may take to carry out one home visit. This means that the Doctor can use time more effectively and can also respond quickly to emergencies that may arise.

A doctor is always on call for emergencies. Outside surgery hours there will be a message on our phone system advising when the surgery will re-open. The North Down and Ards On Call Service is located at Ards Hospital, telephone number 028 91 822344. Following contact the Duty Doctor will either offer you advice over the telephone, or arrange for you to attend for a consultation if required.
