ATTENTION - NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM

Between Friday 23rd May 2025 and Monday 2nd June 2025 Garvagh Health Centre will be changing their clinical system. 

This is having a major impact and disruption to are normal services.  Therefore, we are working on an emergency/urgent capacity only.

We recommend that you use your local community pharmacy 'Pharmacy First' scheme if you have any illness/ailments which fit into their free service over this time to reduce pressure on the Practice and to ensure you get the care and treatment you require.

these changes will affect services such as routine appointments (eg non urgent bloods / diagnostics / urine samples), requests for repeat and non urgent medicines and enquires for records, medical certificates and sick lines.

Thank you for your patience and understanding

MEDICAL STUDENTS

We are a Queen's University Belfast Medical School Teaching Practice hosting Medical students on placement.

The curriculum and learning objectives for each stage in their undergraduate training ensures that by the end of medical school they have a broad understanding of the role of a GP and General Practice as a career option. They benefit hugely from speaking to patients, and many of our patients say how much they enjoy talking to medical students.

As a patient you may be seen by a medical student under the supervision of a qualified Practice clinician. You can, of course, decline this option.

Please do let our reception team know if you would prefer not to be seen by our student.

These are our doctors of the future and as a practice we are proud to be a part of their journey.

DO WE HAVE YOUR CORRECT MOBILE NUMBER?

We are moving some of our communication to SMS messaging ie vaccine updates, smear recalls, etc

Please ensure we have your up-to-date mobile number
