Appointments & Prescriptions
If you wish to make an appointment, please contact the surgery by telephone on 01 455 6299.
Our phone lines can be very busy at times so please bear with us.
When making an appointment you may be asked a series of questions to help prioritise urgency and we ask that you are patient with our receptionists while they gather the necessary information. Please mention when making the appointment if the appointment you require is for a specialised procedure.
A standard consultation is a 15 minute appointment with the GP, to discuss
one issue. Patients with more than one issue to discuss should book an extended appointment to ensure that the appropriate consultation can take place. Otherwise, patients may be asked to book another appointment at a later date. An extended appointment, or an appointment with multiple issues will incur an additional fee.
If you wish to order a prescription, please provide us with the following;
The request can be left into reception or sent to us by email at reception@errigalsurgery.ie
Please allow 3 working days for all prescription requests to be processed. Some prescriptions may incur a fee.
We request that you send us an itemised list for clarifications purposes. This allows us to crosscheck all our prescriptions to avoid any potential errors, especially if you are attending a hospital or consultant and your medications have been recently, or are regularly, amended.
Please note that your request will be reviewed by the Doctor prior to completion and you may be asked to make an appointment for a review and/or blood test in line with Medical Council guidelines.
If you have not been seen in the surgery in the last 12 months, it would be best practice to schedule an appointment at the surgery.
