Appointments

Borrisokane General Practice operates on an appointment only basis with clinics daily from 9:00 – 12:30 pm and 2:30- 5:00 pm.

Appointments are primarily for dealing with one complaint only. If you would like to discuss other problems or feel more time is needed then ask at reception for a longer appointment and this will be tried to be accommodated.

Note, that additional length of consultation will be subject to additional cost

  • Appointments are for the named individual only and we are unable to accommodate additional individual complaints during the consultation. If you require a consultation for more than one person, please indicate this prior to booking a consultation.
  • Borrisokane General practice aim to see patients in a timely and efficient manner, with as short a wait period as possible.
  • To enable this we would appreciate if patients would arrive on time for your appointment where possible – we will be unable to facilitate late arrivals
  • In the event of being unable to attend for appointment, cancellation is required.

House call protocol

Borrisokane General practice facilitates a limited provision for house call visits

Borrisokane General practice encourages patients to attend the Primary care centre in person. In circumstances where this is not possible, potential house call requests will be reviewed by the GPs, however, house calls cannot be guaranteed.

If you are in need or urgent medical attention please contact the emergency services at 999 / 112 or present directly to the Emergency Department.
