When the surgery is closed, emergency medical is provided by Beldoc. This service exists to provide urgent or emergency treatment for patients at night or weekends.
This is not a walk-in service. You or your relatives must phone first. A doctor will return your call promptly and then speak to you or your relative and decide on the best action to take.
This may mean that you will be offered telephone advice, asked to visit the centre directly facing the Mater Hospital, or a home visit will be made if considered necessary by the GP.
Please check our phone message for further information
