Covid vaccine certificates

The HSE and Dept of Health are currently in the process of creating and sending out digital COVID certificates to Irish citizens, either by post or email. The practice has no role in this, and will be unable to help you to obtain a certificate. Full information about the certificate (including if you haven’t received yours) is available at https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/3a698-eu-digital-covid-certificate/

Important Information

Practice Policy Changes

PLEASE DON’T VISIT THE PRACTICE WITHOUT CALLING AHEAD FIRST

Even though Ireland is gradually returning to normality, we are still operating a reduced capacity in our waiting room to reduce the risk of community infection.

Booking Appointments

We are currently offering a mix of face to face and video/telephone consultations. (subject to change)
When you ring for a consultation or medical query, our receptionist will take your details and a doctor or nurse will ring you back.
We will continue to triage all appointment requests for your safety, and the safety of other patients and staff

We have instructed staff to ask ALL patients requesting appointments about respiratory symptoms.
For the good of yourself, your family and community, please be co-operative with this, and do not attend if you may be a risk for others.

Attending Appointments

  • Please do not attend before your appointment time, and notify reception of your arrival.
  • Patients attending by car may be asked to wait in the car until the doctor is available to see them.
  • Wear a face mask please.

Specific Covid-19 queries

  • Many questions can be answered using the reliable information links at the top of this page
  • If you are concerned that you may be suffering from Covid-19 or that you need testing, phone (but do not attend) the surgery.
    Please understand that our phone lines have been extremely busy – we are trying our best!
  • If you meet the current criteria for Covid-19 testing as outlined by Health Protection Surveillance Centre guidelines, we will submit an electronic referral to request Covid-19 testing to the National centre. You will be contacted directly to arrange this and given further information.
  • While you are waiting for us to contact you, please, please, please self-isolate at home to help slow the spread of the virus.
  • If your symptoms worsen whilst you are waiting testing, please telephone us so we can further evaluate your status.

 

 

Certificates

The practice is now using electronic certification for social welfare certificates. You do not always need to attend the practice but may require a telephone consultation.
Private medical certificates may be returned by email.

Thank you for your co-operation and understanding. These changes will help reduce the risk of spreading coronavirus infection, while allowing us to deliver medical services to you!
